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

I just stumbled across a sideshaft horizontal model engine I haven't seen before. It is listed here:

If it had dual flywheels it would be awesome. If you can believe the weight of 6500g it is a pretty hefty model. The Holt 4cy is listed at 3500g. Only one picture, plus a short vid of it running. Looks like the water pump is under the left shaft. Don't see a gov; has a super simple carb. Hope to see more photos soon. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

If well executed, it’s kinda neat. There are a couple of vids floating around, one with slower, more reasonable running.  The exhaust smoke rings are cute…..   as usual, it’s all about execution.

Meanwhile, their corner of China is getting battered with strict Covid quarantine etc.
