Looks very similar to something we had hanging about in our shed as a kid. my dad had apparently built it as he Apprentice Piece whilst at technical collage in the '50s. He'd later tried to fit to a model Tug Boat that my cabinet maker grandfather had built, to no success.

Hello Fred , I hope that your well & that all is good . I just thought that I would mention that a couple of weeks ago i was listening in on ch 19 , there was a conversation between two CB operators discussing about one of the local Brighton CB operators had a visit from Ofcom , the operator had all his cb equipment confiscated by Ofcom , the two operators was also discussing that the cb operator who had their equipment confiscated had not been on air since , one of the operators mentioned that he was a naughty boy , that's all I know , perhaps you could find out further details on the case from some of the Brighton CB operators ? , I guess that it sends out a signal that Ofcom are still very much active .
Hi. Thanks for the info. Ive never heard of Ofcom being active on CB umless operators were interfering with emergency services. Iam sure if this is not fake it will become a hot topic on forums.

The big engines are just fascinating to watch, my cousin has a couple, or had, he keeps changing his engines!

Sounds cool.
Always fascinated by hit and miss. Steam also amazes me. Pretty neat stuff.
You and me both!
I think it needs a bigger heavier flywheel.
Very keen. Thank you Fred for the demonstration. Hoping you had a nice Easter.
Thanks, you too!
a tip is to run the ignition on 3 volt instead of 4.5. the module will last a lot longer

Hi Bob. They sell a complete range of petrol models. Look out for a sale as the price comes right down.
Coleman Fuel "Was" in the US White Gas or Naphtha and almost no exhaust fumes?

Thanks for the info. There is a whole range of models from 2 stroke to 4 stroke single and dual pistons
Great vid Fred !

put a adjustable load on it and hear the difference. nobody shows that
I want one.
Why don’t we have big rig trucks running on hit and miss engines?
4 stroke petrol engines were more powerful and had more torque
