Hi all,

I stumbled across this short video of a rather attractive little wobbler a few days ago and was wondering if anyone knew anything out this type of engine ?

**LINK**

Is it a copy of a full size engine somewhere ? has anyone on here built one similar ? Are there plans for it ?

It seems to have an attractive finish to it that makes it look old but is that artificially added and the actual engine is relatively modern ?

I'm sure you'll agree that although it hasn't got all the complexities of eccentrics, rods, valve gear etc it is nevertheless an attractive engine and makes a great sound when running slow

I have messaged the guy who posted the video in the hope he'll tell me more but so far haven't received a reply.

Peter.

Looks a nice engine. Should not be hard to make one even without drawings. Search for muncaster steam engines. He designed a similar engine but the other way up. The principle is the same.

There is sufficient information on the muncaster article to make a copy of this engine. I suggest using a Stuart 3" flywheel and working back from that. I think I will fire up TurboCAD and give it a go this afternoon.

Hi David,

Thanks for your help, the Muncaster site has some interesting plans, I'd never heard of them before but will take a proper look at their info later.

If I thought I could build one I would, but at the moment realistically it's beyond my skill level

Peter.
