Back in the 60's, my first excursion into real model engineering was the 1" scale beam engine serialized in M.E. at the time. The castings are still available from A.J.Reeves. The casting set included a pedestal to support the outer bearing of the crankshaft. This in turn was placed upon a stone "pillow block". The large diameter flywheel ran in a pit. Later, when Stuart Turner introduced the same engine, scaled up to 1 1/2" to the foot, they omitted the bearing pedestal casting and the flywheel pit, and the outer bearing is up on stilts. I am currently making a "Major" and have scaled up the drawing of the pedestal and fabricated the missing part. I have uploaded some pictures and a drawing in case anyone else would care to do the same.
