Model engines at the Sydney Antique Machinery club Rally, 2015

A great display of antique steam engines, cars, trucks and machinery was a collection of working model engines, including a Galloway Hit & Miss engine, driving a full size watch makers lathe with Action Man at the controls.

Half scale model of a 1911 Domestic engine driving a small grinder.

Engine spec. 1hp, Low tension ignition, side camshaft

Thanks for thaose Paul, though the Galloway looks to be a bit of an oddball/hybrid. Possibly an Assoc Hired Man frame with a scratch built cylinder/hopper.

Hi Jason,

I do not have the history of the model but an interesting display of little engines. I did like the little lathe. Thought it was a model at first but was informed it is full size.

The only thing is the action man is at the back of the lathe

Roy

As the hit & miss engines all tend to run clockwise as viewed in the photo the action man is on the correct size for using a hand graver on the rest as the lathe is running in reverse.

I don't really like "littel men" on a model but they do give Joe puplic an idea of scale.

Jason it might be my eyesight but there appears to be a compound slide on the lathe and as you say the lathe is running backwards

The Domestic side shaft engine in the picture has the logo of the builder (Regimoto), he has a interesting web site of all the engines he has built. Here

Mike.
