Thanks Guys,
The beams under the engines are as follows. Under the 16-2 gen set, I have a frame with 12" X 26lb (IIRC) W flange beam. Mostly because that is what the local steel supplier had. The 6-1 gen set has a beam of my own fabrication under it. I started with 12 X 1 and welded on 4 X 1/2 flanges. The frame spacers are solid 3.5 diameter stock that I had left over from a job.
The Reid engine castings were sold by Burns and Horner Engine company in Dayton OH. The business was sold to a man in Michigan who has not done well with it. Castings are probably no longer available. Search on the Smokestack forum for more info. All the minature piping is all functional. I piped it all with truescale pipe fittings from Coles power models now in Texas.
http://www.colespowermodels.com/index.htmlI machined 3 sets of castings. The twin to my engine is in Mentor Ohio. The 3rd one was never completed and I am in the process of searching the whereabouts of the owner. Last I heard he had retired and was living in his RV, traveling the country with no permanent address. Those machined castings have to be sitting somewhere!
