          Hello Richard,

          Well the obvious challenge for you is to build your own IC engines!

          That said steam engines are more forgiving of minor errors and might be a good place to develop your skills and tackle a more demanding IC engine as a second or third project.

            I used to live in Hoddesdon but moved to Thurrock Essex about 10 years ago. I still come back to have a walk around Hertford And hartham common, Very beautiful place. They do courses in turnford college for model engineering. And you have got glr kennions supplies in roydon.

              I think I'm along way off from building engines need to learn how to use a lathe and milling 1st but never say never and maybe one in the future

                turnford college is a good idea and I will give glr kennions a look up as it's not that far from hoddesdon thanks

                  I did a couple of terms in turnford and it is well worth doing if you want to learn lathe and milling.
