4 forum posts 1 photos | I have recently aquired a 5 inch Stirling single which had been used as a static display model. Parts of the motion were there. The eccentric sheaves needed to be tapped and set up on the driving axle . Knowing the maker would be helpful. |

1050 forum posts 56 photos | Reeves offer a design by J Scarth, who won an award with the original model. A friend of mine built one, but found the inadequacies of the drawings very frustrating. He eventually bought the Clarksons drawings, who offered their version, to supplement them, but I can't remember if he found them much better. Although Clarksons seems to have passed on to Blackgates, the Blackgates Stirling single that they currently list appears to be a 2-2-2 by Martin Evans. BTW, I can't see the springs in the photo above having much flexibility. A thought has just occurred that I heard that the Reeves drawings may have been revised in later years, but I'm very uncertain of that.

421 forum posts 1 photos | There are two active builders of 5" Stirling singles (4-2-2) on Model Engineering Clearing House forum so an enquiry there may elicit some information.
