Chiltern Model Steam Beam Engine.

First run on compressed air this evening. :)
Run's slow on about 4PSI.

Very nicely made, love the plumbing, no horrid plastic tubing dangling from the model!
I've just finished a Stuart 10V, I need to make the boiler and do the plumbing.

I do like the Stuarts. I made an S50. Very nice models. Good luck with the plumbing! 😉

Wow love it i have told Simon it's my next engine how did you wrap the cylinder looks better than just the shinny brass regards Andy

[@ianlainchbury]

Hi Andy. The cylinder is wrapped in Sapele. This is CA glued around a 3D printed former wrapped in cling film. The strips are held with elastic bands. Then sanded and enameled with clear humbrol. The metal straps are made from 1.5mm (I think) piano wire, carefully bent to shape. If you have printing facilities Andy, I can upload the formers for the engine to thingiverse?

@@1479andy Where are you based Andy? The cylinders on Simon's engines are all the same I think. What are you building at the moment? :)

[@ListerPetternuts]

That's lovely I am just building the limited edition one, would you be able to produce a former for me? I would love to clad my cylinder in wood
