My name's Chuck Potts and I live in Detroit, Michigan U.S.A. I'm 50 years old, and care-take my dear old Dad for the time being. My collecting of toy steam engines began a few short years ago. I recently began building my own engines and find it so rewarding and challenging that it's become my primary pursuit! I like experimenting, finding new designs, and new ways to make the parts and things. My engines are pretty basic and definately fall into the toy steam category. Simple, single-cylinder oscillators have long been my preference, but I recently challenged myself to build a twin-cylinder and I'm amazed how much I like it. 8) The Mamod Minor 2 was my favorite engine until I bought and old crank disk Minor 1. I like it's simple economy and so I used a crank-disk design for my first engine! Mamod Collector Hi Chuck A big welcome to the forum............
