    4 Cylinder Engine

    Airfix Engineer kit


    a simple kit but incredibly enjoyable.....been a while since i enjoyed building a kit as much as this one




















    and its powered by a couple of AA batteries.......theres noise and the spark plugs 'fire' and things go up and down and in and out and roundy roundy


    excuse poor sound quality........my camera has a crappy mic (it is a camera for taking still pics after all!) but i hope you get the idea

          That's awesome Paul. Glad you enjoyed the build, it is certainly very entertaining to watch. Maybe you could try the jet engine kit next

                  Really interesting. I had a Mamod  Steam roadroller as a kid and have often dreamt of getting their stationary engine:






                  I imagine it on my desk. I could fire it up sometimes and watch and listen to it. (Yes, I am in my dotage.)
