Yes but they took me to the stuff I already had.  My problem is that the only exploded diagram is a very much simplified version of another two large sheets of technical drawings showing far more parts.  If I motorise the engine am I going to be limited to seeing the flywheel turning or is there more to it than that?  As I said before Billing should show more photos.

I should have the model today.
The attached drawing may help you work out what works Flywheel, I think its the valve control rods and the piston connecting arm in the big casting.
I will send you a PM.

Yes but I am still stuck with one oversimplified exploded diagram which shows only the main components of the engine and the additional highly detailed drawings of the completed engine which are not at all easy to interpret.  Many parts are hidden by the parts in front of thme! As I have said some good close up photos of the engine from various angles would help and so would knowing which parts, apart from the obvious flywheel, are supposed to move.

My previous post was sent before I'd seen your helpful diagram of the main shaft.  Thanks again.
