Hi Jeff,
The Melvin/Meadowbank engines are sideshaft engines. They are
headless but have a removable valve chamber on the side. There are a number
of examples of different sideshaft engines on the Sydney Rally page
including my Austral, a Blackstone, some Hornsbys and Crossleys.

Patrick,
Thanks for the great pictures. I'm new and ignorant, but the picture John
shared turned on a light bulb. I noticed the head on the side of the
cylinder and the shaft and gearing in this photo. Is this what is considered
a side shaft engine. If so, I've never seen one, but this picture made it
quite clear. Thanks and....
Regards,
