Just bought castings for "Little Brother"...

[SteveW]

Guys,

Just bought castings for "Little Brother" hit and miss engine at the Thornbury exhibition last Friday. I've always wanted something like this but will now have to suspend all hobby related spending for a while.

Did a search here but didn't find anything. Has anyone here got any hints or tips on the thing?

Found a Youtube of this engine running then went on to find videos of starting up all manner of very big H&M engines. Fascinating.

You will probably get some better responses asking on HMEM or Smokstak model section

I take it you bought the castings from Forrest who are now distributing the range that Linley now do including some of the Ex Breish Peters engines.

I've done a couple of hit & miss engines so ask if you have any queries

Jason,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm still at the stage of financial shock and looking at which end to start plus what else to go buy. Really, it'll be a project for the longer evenings.

And YES, t'was Forrest I bought it from. Seems they aren't too far from me.

I'll need to think about spark plugs and an HT supply before long.
