Hemingway Kits

[James Hall 3Participant @jameshall3]

Hi Everyone

I’ve completed my first two models, Stuart 10H and a Stuart Beam. I have a D10 kit bought fairly cheaply on Ebay but, while shared components between models may be convenient for Stuart I’m wondering if I want to go on immediately to machine many of the same parts again.

The Hemingway steam kits (particularly the Fieldhouse Winding Engine and B Hick & Son – Crank Overhead Engine) look tempting – has anyone experience of these, or other, Hemingway kits? Your comments, experiences and recommendations (or otherwise) would be very welcome.

Build log the Hick over on MEM forum, have a feeling someone has also done the winding engine there, have a trawl through the “engines from castings” section. You need to be registered there to see some of the attached images.

I have done LOTS of Hemingway stuff both tooling and engines and have yet to find any faults yet. I am about to place another order
