Hey Dan! Nice job on your #5.I built one a few years back,my first from castings,and I'm no machinist.But after lots of tweaking and mistakes it turned out pretty good and sounded great at tick over speed.Those Coke Bottle engines are my personal favorite. Thanks for posting a job well done.
Mike, they used to offer this engine as a kit circa 2006 or 7, but in aluminum, pre-machined; but they stopped making them for some mysterious reason. I had one and was going to put the brass flywheels on it, but ended up selling it. Sure wish I had it back! It ran great.I guess they are pretty rare now.
That's a great effort Dan, I love the way it ticks over so nicely. I've done the #7 Twin and even though it was fun to run on air, it's great fun on steam, different sounds etc. I'm planning on this one as the next project and you're vid helps me make the D. Cheers
Don't run the RPMs up to far on it. The original engine this was scaled down from only ran around 250-300 rpm at the most. They are not high speed engines! They tend to ware-out if you run them to fast. Outside of that, great work!

What a beautiful engine. I wish they offered this as a machined kit. You’ve done an excellent job, Dan.

Immaculate looking little engine. Very nice.
Thanks, Gary. It was an enjoyable, yet challenging little project. Dan
Great work Dan!

Very nice work. Seems to run well.
Low rpm 50000rpm is right
What´s that name I want to buy it from Amazon
Nice work! Thinking about trying to build one of the simpler PM models. Any idea about how many hours it took to complete this project?
I'm trying to recall, but I think about 30 hours total. Thanks for the kind words.
@@DanLins45594 you’re welcome and thanks for answering my question! 👍
30 hours seems doable…think I might give this a shot.

I run this at about 50 rpm 2-3 times a year using an aerosol can (computer dust blower). Should last quite a while. Thanks, David for that tidbit.
Dan, I have the dynamo too, you can have it for 1/2 price. I'll never get time to make it.
