Love those inverted-cylinder engines!

Thanks. I tried to post a full size image but I failed every time. Anyway, I did not make this engine and when it arrived
It had many problems. I worked on it till I got it running. Repainted it and made the lubricator.

Bob, your Rudy K. Case has always been a favorite of mine, I'll pm you my address 

Mine however... was a poor ebay purchase based on one small and fuzzy picture    (shown next to the Maxitrak Case)

Many thanks, Nick. I've always liked the traction engines, as they're mobile but don't need tracks.

At one point I had a complete set of plans and castings for a 1/4 scale Case, but I had to sell them, both because my lathe wasn't big enough and because I realized I just didn't have the skill to build it, especially the boiler. A real pity, though, as, ironically, I have since acquired a complete Case boiler in copper (a bargain I couldn't pass up).

Equally ironically, about a year before I bought the castings, I had sold a never-fired steel boiler for a 2-inch Case that had fallen into my clutches at a flea market, but of course then I didn't have the castings.

Always a bridesmaid....

Hey, neat, Frazer. Tough little guy....

This is a over crank engine designed by Rudy Kouhoupt , I made two and one was sold to a collector in Baden . This was my 3rd and 4th engines my first was a stirling and my second was a Stuart 10V, no need for anyone to see those .
