Steam Trike.......
« on: April 11, 2012, 04:09:56 PM »
Hi All.
I just HAD to show this Video posting, of a very happy member of my other forum. Phil had just arrived home with it, after a very long, and overnight journey to collect.

That is about one of the coolest things ever. I have some ideas when I become a cranky old man to build something similar.

Hi Kjelle.
I have contacted Phil, re my Modder posting.

He replied to me.......

That's fine, David. I'm glad they enjoyed it.

You could mention that it does have a clutch, the original Puch centrifugal clutch.
The engine can turn at idling speed while the back wheel is stationary.
I will be posting a little more technical information shortly.

Regards,
Phil

Thanks for the links David. That is some neat stuff. The launch is BEAUTIFUL!!

I wish I had that mans talent.

I showed one of co-workers the trike... he though it was interesting too.

NEVER!  :D :D :D :D - I adore live steam; in fact, even though I don't have any of the "Toy Steam Engines" I'm very tempted to join that forum!
