Title: Hi from new member
Post by: merlin on October 07, 2008, 08:55:11 AM

Hello all,

I'm in the US.  Interested in machining small engines, whether gas or steam.  Currently working on Rolls-Royce Packard Merlin design for building in 1/4 scale.  Very slow project!

Have built few rc planes, but like boats, also. Really like the idea of a person carrying steam boat.

Also, interested in steam engines in the 20 to 50 hp range to possibly run a generator.

Look forward to seeing what all is on this sight.

Regards,
Billy

Hi Billy welcome to the site, may I say what a wizard idea of building your own generator plant. There are sure to be some suitable plans in the downlaod section. You now have access to these too.

cheers
