  • Fell off the wagon following you. Did a little catch up here. Nice work. I like those old Sixty cats.

    Back on the wagon and following.

      • It may be Jerry. Not fiddling around with perfection to much. Just a representation will be good enough. Thanks!

        Same here Bernie. Cooler weather is here. Was 37 this morning. Thanks for looking !

        Here is a the pack/engine sketch. looking at right side. Weird animal with push rods showing. Plugs are in between the pushrods. I want to make sure it
        fits before proceeding.

          Nice work on the engine. Figuring out the scale is tricky sometimes. Good luck, I'm sure we'll see a nice engine before long.

          Thanks!

      • Thanks Jerry and Mike!

        Reluctantly working on the exhaust manifold and carb side tonight. Wish I had some better illustrations. The magneto drive line and water pump should be challenging.

        Compressed the height a bit. Was about to stick a 671 blower on it! lol

        This is looking the left side of the track.

        • Looks like you've nailed drawing the engine.
          Can that be printed as one piece?

          • Maybe, not sure yet if not I'll try another route. Found a better picture of a 1/16 model that looks really close. This beauty model is like 2ooo bucks! oozing with detail~ Click image for larger version

            • Philip if you can make your engine look that good, I would think it would be close enough for government work.
              Have fun and good luck. Yup the model is unbelievable looking.

                  • Philip, the pricey model looks to be a terrific reference. Looking forward to your rendition.

                        • Nice progress Philip, your back into the swing of things. You have mastered this 3D printing stuff.
                          Now all you have to do is put out some HO scale Jordan Highway Miniatures horse & Wagon kits.

                            I can't believe they went out of business!

                            Hardly mastered. Folks like Les Davis and Ed Traxler are the pros.

                            Here is a revised version, minus water put and all fixture on the right side. Takes forever messing with these.
