Please Help Identify This Engine
« on: March 31, 2019, 08:51:27 am »
A friend has asked for help ID-ing this brass/bronze twin.
It looks somewhat Regner but I am not certain at all.
Also reminds me of the MSM look without the curved spoke flywheels.

Your thoughts on it?

I would go with home built by a good engineer/machinest.
A few parts to me look a little rough to be commercial.

Cheers

Looks like a very nice one of a kind engineered masterpiece to me.

Is this one coming to the Office of Steam?

I'm seeing castings that are not typical of a one off home build. I think it is likely home built from commercial castings, and for some reason Reeves comes to mind.

Whatever it is, Rube Goldberg would be proud of it. It has that nifty complex look about it.
