That's a real beast.

No idea about the maker. The layout reminds (faintly) of a French Radiguet, but my gut feeling says that this is a very professionally made "home built" engine.

Hallo Thomas - thanks for your replay - I am now pretty sure that it is a French Radiguet
I have checked the website of Historytoy - and the engines are exactly the same...
As soon as I can get it - I will know more :D

Arnold:

Do you have the book, "Radiguet et Fils", By Frederic Marchand? 

It is a beautiful book.  I highly recommend it.

Here is a scan of the closest vertical engine in the book:

(Attachment Link)

A lot of jewelry has been added (and very tastefully In My Humble Opinion).

The Radiguet Book does not have any pictures of their engines with a governor. 

Here is a video from another Forum Member of his large Malette and Parent that has some similarities (and some differences)?

Charlie


Hello Charlie - thank you very much for your detective work
I guess it's the model Hermann Lachapelle - there are many
Similarities. As soon as I can buy this motor (hopefully)
I will report and take some special photos.
