Oh Yes .... I really like that ..... thanks for posting this Charlie!

I've thought before of making a steam engine with a horizontal flywheel, to give it a lower profile.

May we hope that Jin see's this?!?! It looks like a perfect project for him!!!

When you get a chance, check out Edward's YouTube Channel.

The only engine builder in Singapore I have come across.

He has built some very fine engines.

I thought the builder is Sri Lanka based  not Singapore
Two totally different countries
 A very nice  engine that looks as good as it runs .
