Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!
My PMR steam engine #1 and boiler #2 project
- Thread starter B-Train
- Start date
YYC, peeking out here.
It's the starting steps of the Pensy A3 of Kozo Hiraoka. I'm not on my own computer now, but I can post some pics tomorrow if there's interest.
Yes, B-Train. Would love to see your pics. No rush. If you have more than a few, just create a separate post with that title. I'm into model engineering too. I had one of Kozo's books once upon a time, more out of interest. I could see that project would be quite the undertaking. Good for you.

Thank you for your kind words! I try to make things as best as I can, but I also love old machines, and put lot of works and time to put them in good working order. Not the best ones and not always as accurate as I would like it, but enough to be useful and functional for my needs. I'm glad you like it

Only another hobby modeler would spot that! Are you the guy building the radial engine?
I realize that this thread content come to be more relevent in the “what machine do you have?” one 
. So here’s a link to a video more specific about the original subject...
It was filmed while I was trying to adjust the valve timing and find the origine of some “knock” at high speed. My next step will be to build some ball valves to complete the piping circuit. After what I’ll make a new boiler pressure test and decide the final arrangement of the output working shaft (have to decide which kind of pulley to use and cutting the shaft at his final length...).
but I don’t know when
