and I know lof lots of Marstons. There are even more Marston twins!

How many are there now then?

My meaning there was that there are more Marston Twins than two...

Would be nice to see one running on Youtube

I'd say that would be pretty low on any owners list of jobs I must do!

Ah geez you two are nuts ! ( Throws hands in the air shaking head )

"I" as in your job to do?

Plot thickens Chickens.

B

There are pictures of a twin in bits on the SOS web site, and it would be very good to see some more, as we are all interested

That isn't going to happen Adrian, as I'm still rebuilding the gearbox which is suffering the same problems that OA's often suffer from.

I haven't even started making the patterns for the twin & OA bits that require casting in Birmabright as there is a minimum charge for mixing a batch of the correct alloy, which I will then own the entire contents of the crucible.

But before that I've got to finish some bronze parts for the type B SD transom bracket, then complete a 170 racer, then restore a 5R up to racing spec, the 5R will require a complete new leg, prop, cylinder, crankshaft, head, piston & crankcase.

As you will see from the above jobs I should do list there is a very considerable expenditure of cash that I'll have to find as well as the costs of any of the more exotic races I want to do, so you will just have to wait till I'm ready.

You are going to be here next year for the 30th running of the waikato charlie boy ?

So pictures of the twin will show up sooooon!!!

Oyster , your avatar , which of your motors is that ?

Is that an anzani uni twin ?

No Marston twin as seen on the SOS web site. The unitwin has a similar layout though.

Its a twin.
