I remember taking my 4 year old son the the Model Engineering exhibition in 1984 where there was an amazing Merlin engine (which IIRC won the top prize). I believe it was started but we missed that exciting bit as there was a crush to hear and see it running.
Some of these ME chaps are absolutely incredible with their range of skills and patience.
My feeble attempt was to machine a set of Stuart-Turner castings for a Vertical single engine, it ran on a boiler which I also built but was too small to supply enough steam for the intended use in a steam launch built by my brother-in-law.
Happy days, unfortunately pre-digital photography so I can't post pics.
