Xmas project - engine build
So, i've got 3 weeks off from next wednesday until the new year.
So I decided I needed something to do, and I like building/makeing things (rc helicopters, electical things, guitars, even tried black powder once (lets not go into that!)....) So I have purchased one of these:  A stuart 10V steam engine which should hopefully look something like this when im finished  : Anyone else got anything to do? Cool toys! Dan |

I've got a 1971 BSA B25 to rebuild; an ex-Gloucestershire police patrol bike. The engine is in a *lot* of very small pieces. |

*somewhere* deep and dark in my dad's atic is a lovely steam engine that was given to me as a child, it will require quite a lot of work before it's finished but I just really don't have the time at present. Still winter's drawing in....
 I also have a revel Ducati 996 model that I decided not to start a few years ago when I was short of time and step one was "assembling the chain"

Wow! I'd love one of those! I could build a vacum pump from it, and use it in the chemistry labs here at the uni (the vacum system isn't working, so we have electric pumps...only 3 to a class of 40 students. There's long queues)
Where did you get it from, and how much? I love engines and stuff Matt |
