Hello all

Just to say hello from a new member, I.ve had my AMA CJ16a lathe (and Sieg SX2P mill) for about 6 months and have had some success at making a Bengs model Isabelle engine, all parts are made and I have to assemble and fettle valves etc, I suspect that may be the tricky bit!

I have been talking to Stewart Hart at my local model engineering club and he has kindly sent me plans for his Grasshopper engine which will be next on my list of projects.

I am hoping to be able to look at buying from the classified sales on this site but have realised that I have to contribute to posts before having full access.

All the best from Crewe

John

Hi John welcome to the forum. One of the first engines I made was the Stuart Hart horizontal engine and boiler to run it on after a wobbler. Ask away on here there are many ways to make things and plenty of people to sugest other ways as well.

Welcome John, As someone coming to the end of his model engineering days it's always good to hear that someone is taking an interest in the hobby

Good luck with your journey – you are certainly on the right path

Welcome!

The hobby needs newcomers.

If you need help on ANY subject, just ask. Some one will probably have the answer to your question.
