The wood engine base does look a whole lot better than the metal one. I have one of these
and have been wanting to electrify it also, but I might try the belly heater. Picked up
another engine assembly for it and was thinking of a twin. What do you think Bruce?
The pistons in these things are the size of the head screws for a Jensen 20.
Your the reason I bought this one Tommy 😁👌
I think a twin Westbury Cheddar would be nice , I wish I had matched the wood a little better on mine. I knew these weren't very powerful having the valving & the piston in that same cylinder block. Installing a belly heater would be a simple and easy fix re:heat. I bought this for the elegance of the piston rod movement and have not been disappointed , its memorizing to watch.
