Best thing about learning on these is that there are no castings to ruin.

Thanks guys, I enjoyed making these. There are things that aren't quite right on these engines, but they were a good starting point. I've learned a lot since then.

Next project is a PMR #1, which is underway right now, but there are a couple of other Elmers Engines that are interesting. That said I also have a PM Research #4 engine to make - something a little bigger and more challenging, so I may just go with that.

Agree with Nick.

Nice to see a couple Elmer Engines running.

What’s the next project?

These are the first engines I ever made. Good fun to build, they were.
