Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Ok, Karl, you have been challenged to share your builds and now it's time to step up to the plate.

If you didn't know,  David Kerzel acquired one of those engines and gave it an honest review including pretty good grades. He also shared that had his engine been copied 20 years ago when it was new, he might have gotten a little flustered. However years later he felt it was good for the hobby that affordable alternatives to the highly prized high quality hand builds were available.

Regarding the horizontal twin, it is easy to see that while it may resemble the 50 hp Titan, it is mechanically mostly a 2 cylinder Holt H74 laid on it's side with crank case opened on top. It makes sense to use the same parts in different configurations.

Karl, I started this forum for all to enjoy.
Attacking those who choose to collect these engines for their own enjoyment along with a jab at the engines themselves and their makers does not sit well with me.

So show us your builds. Please know you are welcome to post your videos and have a discussion about them.

Also, Doug Kelly is a friend of mine and it is my Callahan model that inspired him to design and build his cam stopper mill engine. Joe Higgins is also a good friend.
