10 forum posts 5 photos	Thought an introduction would be a good idea! I’d say I’m fairly new to model making, I learnt a lot of turning and milling methods during my apprenticeship and have since progressed into my dads workshop model making at home. A few years back I built the BAS Stirling engine as designed by Jan Ridders and was very pleased when I eventually got it working! They’re by no means an easy thing given the low amount of power. I then started looking at other projects and was quite taken by the V8 engines however given my limited experience I thought building a V Twin would be a nice stepping stone. I’m currently in the ‘trial and error’ period of attempting to get it running. Frustrating but hopefully will be worth it when it’s done! I already have the next project lined up which I will start a thread for when the time comes but between me and my father we’ll be building two 5” Lion locomotives, although he may adapt his and make the Tiger, which is the sister locomotive to the Lion, so that should be interesting!
