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

After owning this kit for years, I have started working on it.  I picked it up at an auction at least 12 years ago.  This is a Tiny Power "W" Marine engine.  It is quite large, a real working motor, not just a model.  It is designed to turn a 14" - 15" propeller on an 18' boat and will produce 3Hp at 100PSI.  I still have a long way to go.

The first picture is of the crankshaft throws.  This is on my 1940's mill.  I added DRO for X, Y and Z.  Works well, but is not really big enough for this kit, especially the cylinder blocks.

The second picture is machining the rough cylinder castings at my brothers on his Bridgeport.

The third picture is boring the cylinders on his Bridgeport.

The final picture is the completed crankshaft, base and connecting rods.

I am working on the lower cylinder heads that attach the cylinders to the vertical risers with the cross slide.  I will post more pictures as I make progress.

You may have a long way yet to go ..... but you have already come a long way with some really fine-looking work done that is now behind you!
