Hello all
I am in the same position as the originator of this thread and having read through it have come to the conclusion that I will attempt this beam engine from mostly bar stock. I have all the materials I would need to make it, a flywheel that I suspect would suffice, only needing the beam and cylinder castings. I will have to check the drawings to see how difficult it would be to replicate these two items from the solid (I am on holiday in Spain at the moment so can’t have a look at the early ME build series, that I have, until I get back to the U.K.)
My questions are:
What issues of ME were the more recent series of the ME beam engine serialised?
Can anyone help with corrections to incorrect dimensions on the drawings? It would be better to start with all the knowledge rather than having to find out as I go along.
all the best
Nigel
