At risk of stating the obvious, but not knowing your background knowledge of model engines, it looks like some type of horizontal mill engine, judging from the cross heads and bearing pedestals etc.

Not sure what the gizmos in the last pic might be. Reversing gear? Governor?

I'm afraid I've not able to identify your castings from an internet search, but as has been stated, they seem to be from a horizontal engine.

Could you give the nominal dimensions of the cylinder, approximate bore and length, this might help in the identification. Also, perhaps, a list of the cast on part numbers might again give a clue to the supplier.

Of course, there is the possibility that they are not all from the same model, just to confuse things.

I hope that someone can identify them for you, they seem to be good clean castings, just waiting to be machined.

It has the look of one of Willy Schneeberger's designs about it but I have looked at the usual sources for those and can't see it listed.

Looks like the cylinder has been machined, is it an imperial or metric bore which could point to whether it is a European kit or UK/USA

Is there any emblem cast into the valve chest cover? A styalised M would point to Luther Martrian but again don't think it is one of his engine designs, at least not one I have seen

Could it actually be two separate parts connected by a casting sprue which has not yet been cut off? Each part seems to have its own mounting holes so I don't really see the point of the connecting bar.

Something needs to hold the cylinder in place, and as you say, cast as one piece for cutting later.

Hi, that seems to be the one that JasonB found, however it seems to be one from Kennion Bros (Hertford) Ltd.

Here it is on page 28 of their catalogue that I got from them in 1992, but there was no mention of it in the price list.

In the first G.L.R. Distributors Ltd (Inc. Kennion Bros) catalogue No.13 that I received, it is listed but there is no illustration. A few years later I got a catalogue from GLR Kennions Ltd, dated June 2013 and the only mill engine in that is Tina, which Neil mentions.

Regards Nick.

Well fou.nd Jason! And a handsome looking engine it is too. Rather interesting with the water pump and all. Certainly a worthwhile project. Looks like Kennions sell the drawings for Tina for a reasonable price so should be quite do-able.
