Looking for a modular design...

Post by johnpenn74 »

IC fans, I want to build a 1.5" scale model a of a railroad locomotive primer move. Doesn't have to be exactly to scale or anything. Can any one recommend a design, kit or family of commercial parts that I can stretch into a 12 cylinder ish that is about 1" bore x 1.25 stroke? I am thinking fab the block and all the long parts, and purchase all of the short parts.

A bigger version of this would be ideal.
