This looks to me like a product that only an engineer could understand and "CAD up". Outstanding detailing for your "foundation" part to accept the presently missing components. Rich
You bet, I just wish I had done it prior to finishing my windlass motor!
Thanks Rich.
It appears to be a basic motor, with two valves and one spark plug. The crank case is the side with the two flywheels, which runs a horizontaly driven piston. Off the crank is a rod that connects to an external rocker arm, with external spring, that operates the valves. The distributor is run off the crank too. And the exhaust is the pipe in the front. The other pipe is an oil fill. Anyway, that’s a basic overview.
Definitely interesting.
Your description sounds like it is your motor mechanic side associated with your slot cars collecting. I don't know that much about engines so you have given me an interesting insight. RichThanks Rich.

Actually, when in high school, I bought my first car...a sports car. Then I started working on my car to make it faster, etc. I have been interested in motors, cars and motorcycles, since a very young age.
The British Morgan caught my eye back in the 60s but an MG TD-F would do very nicely as I like the classic radiator. My long legs though are a problem in either car.

The file created by Dean loaded into a CAD viewer
The file can now be made with a 3D printer on a scale of 1:72
Here are a few photos taken with the viewer

I think someone in Woudrichem (NL) is happy with this

Specially for @Dean62 and @Henk Liebre :
A picture from the printing-friend of the first result of the windlass motor and steering mechanism out of the printer:
They now have to harden and finish.
New photos will be posted as soon as that's done.

That's a lot of details shown, great job folks!
Thanxs, Heinrich. For the painting, Henk can show all his skills.
Thanxs, Jim. With the experience of the steering wheel and the anchor, Dean @Dean62 was able to work out quite a few details. And Henk @Henk Liebre and our friend 'printer-Henk' were able to translate that well to the printer.
I like it! It looks very promising! With a some minor cleanup and paint, they will look very good. Such tiny parts though!
Diamonds can be small also but still of high quality and value! RichI like it! It looks very promising! With a some minor cleanup and paint, they will look very good. Such tiny parts though!
