This started with the fabricated flywheel, a first for me and which I asked the forum for advice.

The model is obviously inspired by the Twin Victoria which I liked the look of but I like to do my own designs and kits don’t really do it for me though I certainly admire seeing other peoples’ examples. It is all fabricated and remaining are the eccentrics and straps and a fair amount of fitting to achieve alignments and running clearances.

That is coming together nicely, the squarer cylinders give it the look of a corless. Look forward to seeing it running.

Yes, nice to see a bit of freelancing, do you make detailed plans before you start, or make a start with a general picture in mind and develop it as you go along?

I like the ‘industrial’ heft of it.

Thanks for the comments.

I make a GA to get overall sizes and allow me to order the material in one go and I will make some detailed drawings. Other smaller parts are made to fit other parts so if something doesn’t go to plan then the next part can be made to suit. In the workshop I will also sometimes notice that a part does not look right, often too chunky so I will change it, the dimensions being worked out on scrap paper. Making a twin though made the process a bit more disciplined so the 2 engines will end up looking the same.
