Thanks, however I'm thininking of trying to build one before buying one!

Any plans or drawings avaiable?,
I'm thinking a single cylinder one, however stuck most on how to connect a reversor up!

Dave Watkins has the drawings for a double cylinder one as used on idris.
In my experience a single cylinder one needs a bl00dy big flywheel to achieve good slow running as regner have shown.
