Two stationary engines on a trolley :-)

Been looking at the straight six turbo-charged Allen and wondering if I could make a buggy.....

Suitable clutch seems to be the issue.

Beats pulling the thing around a rally field, excellent idea.

It was the clutch arrangement that intrigued me, must involve a degree of bravery engaging. Am loving the wobble on the seat too.

Apologies if misplaced John - had associated Internal Fire from my wonderful visits with a love of combustion in all its varying glory from power generation to lugging ships about...

Hope to get back and see all again this season bringing friends from Talyllyn Railway.

Kes, Paul’s right. My reply was a slight leg pull.
I remember some time ago a discussion about the definition of stationary engine. The only conclusion was that there wasn’t an answer.
I suppose this is the reverse of removing lawn mower engines and using them as entry tickets at shows.

ps watts wrong with my smell chucker?
