MODEL DIESEL ENGINES

[NICHOLAS ROBSONParticipant @nicholasrobson46576]

After a short absence from the hobby (50years)!! I have recently rekindled my interest. I'm planning to build a Swordsman model and have already found the plans on the internet.

I have an 8cc Taplin Twin engine which may need some tlc to bring back to life but have been unable to find any engine restorers listed on the internet. I know that i.c. engines are not as popular as when I was last modelling, but live close to Bridlington Club which still have a power boat section.

Does anyone know of a reputable engine restorer?

Thanks for the advice Dave, I'm checking out the forum. Some of the leads on it I've tried already.

Have you tried "Just Engines" they do repairs and overhauls to engines,

[NICHOLAS ROBSONParticipant @nicholasrobson46576]

Thanks Raymond. I did try Just Engines, they could not help but gave me a lead to a couple of contacts. One of them Mike Crisp can help, and has experience of working on Taplin Twins. Very grateful for the suggestion.

thank you
