[SEL] Re: A pair of Economy Engines

[ANDREW HUNTER-ROWE]

I agree. 
 
I joined the forum because I am restoring a couple old old Petter Diesel engines so though it would be interesting and because of the mutual support and encouragement I would expect such a forum to provide.
 
I don't think it is particualry helpful to anyone to be critical of what after all is a personal choice. 
 
I hope you enjoy your engines as much as i hope to enjoy mine when they are completed.

Hi Dave

Tell the critics of your colour scheme to stick it up
their arse. The Rosebery open crank (OZ copy of a F&J
model N) that I restored for my kids has pink
flywheels. That's because one of them is a girl. For
the boy, he got the crankcase & hopper in mid blue and
I got to choose yellow for the moving parts. It goes
great, they are able to start it, and looks heaps
better than all the green ones.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers
