Hi, i can see the photo, the paddle steam engine has a crankshaft set to 180 degree, also the steam engine can not self start. Can you set the crankshaft to 90 degree, then the steam engine are self starting.
 
A nice work paddle steam engine.

Hello Jens
 
Thank you for your comment, that I'm sorry to say, I just discovered now.
 
I think you are right about the self starting issue, but I just give the shaft a little push, must think about this in my next design.
 
Regards
Mogens

On honeymoon, before gettinmg into model engineering, I bought a french ship modelling magazine.
 
In it is a design for a two cylinder single acting engine - with the cranks at 90 degrees!
 
Think about it...
