Buckshot Bear Posted May 3 Posted May 3 The Rider-Ericsson Engine Company of New York was founded in 1897 and these engines were (from reading) quite common. For this model I made a new timber plinth for the engine as well as a larger copper water cooling reservoir, reshaped and straightened the copper piping, cut some brass and made some brass bolts on my lathe and scraped the red paint from the outside of the brass flywheel. Does anyone ever remember seeing one of these full sized Rider Ericssons? 7 4 Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 What a pretty little darlin' that one is. Have you considered putting out a DVD, or something similar, with each of your engines having four or five minutes of its own time? It could be a seller and would be even better if you had a booklet of details and still photos of each one to accompany the videos, as well. Just a thought. I'll take a package of that if you ever decide to do it. 2 1 Quote

Dapper Dave Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Forty has a great idea there, mate. I for one get a kick out of these wild old engines I've never heard of, and figuring out how it is they work. That is a really neat hobby, sir. Thanks for the video! 1 1 Quote
