Thread: Wanted stuart castings |
06/10/2020 17:50:25 |
The kit car stays lol, was a project me and the wife started together 5 years ago, but then after a very long battle we were finally lucky enough to have our boys 3 years ago so now I'm on own with build, coupled with being dairy farmer I only manage 3 or 4 hours a week on it sadly but its not far away now and virtually all parts are purchased so just plodding on. |

I think any of the verticals, but something as close to what my grandad started with would be fab from sentiment standpoint. Hes found out his old stuart no1 book for me to read. Cheers

Hi guys thanks for the input, I shall have a mull over next few days. Is anyone aware of any reasonable priced plans along with a build guide for barstock models? The guide quite important to me as I get to grips with understanding the drawings to a more detailed level than I currently do. I dont mind making mistakes thats how we learn but I have a habit of overthinking things and at least with guidance I can crack on at a pace that allows me to be productive whilst learning the skills and gaining the depth of understanding that I'm after. I think part of the reason for looking at a stuart no1 engine was the huge quantity of information and books available for them,and I suppose a certain aspect of sentimentality as it was where my grandad started, then he did the triple then onto the complex builds of rocket and the current ransomes. I think I will have to set the sentiment aside for sake of budget and find a similar engine that's not casting based, but preferably of the stuart vertical style so anything from no1 to 10 I suppose. Cheers again guys Nic

hi, im new to model engineering, having mainly used my lathe for making parts on my kit car, but with that nearing completion I'm looking for a new project. My 92 year old grandad (my inspiration)has made many models over the years including Stevenson rocket and others, and currently working on 2inch ransoms sims and jefferies engine, but he advised me to start with something like a stuart no1. I dont have much available funds due to having twins 3 years ago so can't afford to buy new, so kind of hoping that some of you good people may have some stuart casting sets knocking around gathering dust that I might be able to purchase so that I can progress my model engineering hobby. I do hope that someone can help Cheers Nic |
Thread: Warco wm240v |

Hi, i checked the fuse in rear of machine and it was fine, are there others I haven't found yet? Mines not too bad for stalling as the previous owner installed a bigger motor onto lathe to combat this, I was just not concentrating as much as I should have been grrr. Nic |
