Hello Richard,

Well the obvious challenge for you is to build your own IC engines!

That said steam engines are more forgiving of minor errors and might be a good place to develop your skills and tackle a more demanding IC engine as a second or third project.

I used to live in Hoddesdon but moved to Thurrock Essex about 10 years ago. I still come back to have a walk around Hertford And hartham common, Very beautiful place. They do courses in turnford college for model engineering. And you have got glr kennions supplies in roydon.

I did a couple of terms in turnford and it is well worth doing if you want to learn lathe and milling.
