seal 4 cylinder engine build

After joining the excellent model engine forum (see links page) John from the UK put a
set of castings up for sale. These were for the Hemingway Seal engine. It is a
Westbury design that has 4 cylinders and a capacity of 13.7cc although it is known as
a 15cc engine and was first released in 1947!

I am really looking forward to making it although it won't be started until January 2009
as I have two projects to complete in 2008. One the Mills diesel 1.3cc is my first ever
attempt at getting lumps of metal to actually breathe! At the time of writing
(01/08/2008) the Mills is just a couple of days away from completion, whilst the other
project (my Fowler 2" scale traction engine) is a set of stages to complete. It has to
stand on its own four wheels and the cylinder block must be bolted to the boiler.

However if you want to see a Seal engine built and running by a group of people the
go to the following link.
