ABOUT US Hemingway Kits has been trading in the UK since 1976, providing small workshop owners with a growing range of Workshop Accessory kits to improve productivity, capacity and accuracy. We believe strongly in the importance of well researched and proven projects and are honoured to represent many of the world's most respected designers. It was these same beliefs that lead us to acquire Woking Precision Models in late 2006, providing a continuing source for the incomparable engine designs of Edgar Westbury, Laurence Sparey, G F King, Les Chenery, Eric Whittle, Colin Jones and Len Mason.

We are proud to present the our range of classic model engines, developed for aero, marine, automotive, locomotive and stationary scale applications. The collection includes 15 internal combustion engines of virtually every layout, together with a growing variety of external combustion engines. We aim simply to provide the broadest and most refined range of Engines Kits available.

EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES Developing and exploiting the Steam Engine lead to unimaginable wealth and change – not least in Great Britain!

Like China today , from 1815 to 1870 Britain became the 'workshop of the world', producing finished good so efficiently and cheaply that it could obliterate competition in almost every other market. In these halcyon days the UK supplied over half the needs in manufactured goods of such nations as Germany, France, Belgium, and the United States!

To our growing range of Steam Engines we are now pleased to add Benjamin Hick's “Crank Overhead” engine, a vertical installation which revolutionised mills and manufactories throughout the world in the 1850's.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES “Induction, Compression, Ignition, Exhaust” summarises the detailed development work of Nikolaus Otto, Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, Karl Benz and Rudolf Diesel during the final decades of the 19th century. The world then changed!

In all of its many guises, the Internal Combustion (IC) engine has been more influential in promoting the development of machine tools, precision measurement and metallurgy within the global industrial arena than any other product in the last 100 years. This is equally true of the effect that model engines have had and are having on model engineering practices. There can be no doubt that building a running IC engine requires patience, a methodical approach and precision. The crisp bark of one's first IC engine springing into life places it's constructor within an elite global group. We believe that it is the scale of this challenge that provides model engine builders with their unique satisfaction.

The Hemingway IC Engine range contains a diverse array of designs:

! 2 strokes with single transfer or Schnüerle porting ! 4 stokes with side valves, push rod driven overhead valves or full overhead cam ! Spark, glow plug and compression ignition variants ! Singles and Twins plus 4 and 8 cylinder layouts ! In-line, V and horizontally opposed construction ! Displacements from 0.63cc to 40cc ! Air cooled and water cooled cylinders and heads ! Drip, splash and forced lubrication The commonality between the engines available from Hemingway Kits is that each has been exhaustively researched and refined into an elegant package that has been proven to work and proven to work well.

Valve Springs Since precision is the “name of the game” for IC engines your measuring equipment is very important. You'll need an Valve springs are included for all 4 stroke engines. Oddly however, not all designers have specified an exact valve accurate surface plate, height gauge, a DTI resolving down to 0.00005 (1/2 of a tenth) and good quality micrometers spring… Westbury in particular seemed to assume that constructors would want to experiment with various wire and verniers. You should also consider investing is a Centering Microscope (see our Workshop Accessory range) to gauges and free lengths as they tuned their finished engines.

Originally designed at than the dimensions shown in construction manual. 30cc, 15cc and then 6.3cc capacities, the Atom Minor Mk3, the final evolution of the breed, was released in 1947 to conform with 6.0cc competition limits. Price: £15.00 With its rotary induction valve, the Atom Minor Mk3 will swing a Ø12" x 6" pitch propellor at 6,500 rpm in standard trim. A tuned example, with a 10:1 compression ratio, was bench tested in 1945 on wartime "clear pool" petrol and returned 0.29 bhp @ 11,000 rpm, reving freely through to 14,000 rpm. This would have provided 25mph performance in a 24" Hydroplane or 55mph from a 17", 6lb Tether Car! The design however was conceived primarly for model aircraft applications where it can be mounted upright or inverted. The ignition system proposed by Westbury offers simple cam-operated contact breaker points.

The Wyvern WYVERN HE2504 Wyvern - Drawing & Construction Notes

The Wyvern is a horizontal, open crank stationary engine of the type that played a very important role in the mechanisation of industry. Otto cycle engines, burning gas or petrol, rapidly replaced steam plant for small and medium sized applications from around 1880 onwards. The first Otto engines borrowed many of their structural features from contemporary steam engine practice, including the open horizontal frame of the orthodox mill engine. Crossely Brothers, the UK licensees of the Otto patents, were responsible for a number of important improvements including poppet valves and the clerestory combustion chamber. Westbury included all of these features in the Wyvern which was designed and launched in 1963. With a displacement of 40cc, the Wyvern was designed to run at a constant 1,500 - 2,000rpm. Lubrication is from 3 wicked oil cups and the cylinder is water cooled. The completed engine measures 12" x 8" x 6" wide across it's two Ø6 ½" iron flywheels. The generous proportions (Bore x Stroke = Ø1¼" x 2") and simplicity of the open crank design allow this to be recommended as an engine project A set of 3 A3-size drawings together with the original construction notes compiled by E T Westbury, some for new comers. With a majority of its workings exposed, it particularly useful observations from R V Hutchinson and more recent build details from Peter Rawlinson; 23 must also be said that a running Wyvern engine provides pages in all. much eye-appeal!

Loose silver steel inlet and exhaust cams are hardened separately then fixed with Loctite to a mild HE2604 Mastiff - Drawing & Construction Notes steel shaft using an assembly jig to ensure perfect orienta- tion. A vertical shaft for auxiliaries (driven by 2:1 skew gears) is used to power the distributor and oil pump. A pressure relief valve and an external oil pressure indicator are incorporated to ensure good lubrication from the shallow sump. The engine can be built with either a single horizontal or twin downdraft carburettors and the manifold arrangement is neatly achieved without tortu- ous routing. As the engine was conceived for marine use, water cooling is by thermo-syphon and details are given for a suitable cooling tower for stationary applications. The Mastiff is a big engine. It stands 6 ½” tall, 8 ¾” long and 7 ½” wide over its ¼” x 32tpi plugs. Interestingly, the hole spacing for the mounting bearers is an exact match for the Myford cross-slide, making running-in a simple affair.

The V8 Aero Engine V8 HE2204 V8 Aero Engine- Drawing & Construction Notes

This elegant V8 won ME Magazine's coveted Gold Medal at the 1995 Olympia Exhibition. A truly magnificent project yielding a 10.6cc 4 stoke glow plug engine that is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it is displayed or flown! Recreating an aero-engine layout that was popular in the 1920's, Eric Whittle's masterpiece closely resembles the Airdisco (Air Disposal Co.) 120 and 200 hp units used by Sir Geoffrey de Havilland in the DH51. The engine will swing a Ø12" x 6" propeller at 7,000 rpm yet idles smoothly at 2,500rpm. The engine is just 4½" long with an overall weight of 15oz! With a 90º V8 layout using overhead valves actuated by push rods, the engine's bore x stroke = Ø0.460 x ½". Mr. Whittle states that this is a straightforward engine to build, requiring no special skills or equipment. What is required however is patience! The award winning engine took 6 months to complete and contains a total of 550 components. Fancy a challenge?

A couple of A2-size drawings together with 39 pages of Eric Whittle's original build notes on this fabulous engine. Price: £30.00

The V8 Aero Engine - Material Kit HE2200

The V8 Aero Engine is made entirely from bar stock. This kit provides the majority of material required to complete the build. Customers will still have to source additional material including glow plugs and fasteners (8, 10 & 12BA). Plans and construction notes can be ordered opposite. The bill of material includes 15 different sections of high tensile, stainless and silver steel, iron, aluminium and Dural together with the 3 specified ball races, cut blanks for the pair of timing gears and the 16 valve springs.

L H Sparey's 0.63cc Aero Diesel & 0.63cc / 5.0cc HE1004 Sparey “0.63cc” Diesel - Drawing & Construction Notes 5.0cc Aeromodeller Diesel

These 2 engine designs were launched within a 12 month period in 1946/7. Owing to their simplicity, Laurence Sparey's diesels went on to become among the most popular IC projects of all time. The engine designs are “diesels” or more correctly; 2 stroke compression ignition engines. They are best run on a 50/50 mixture of di-ethyl ether and petrol but will burn standard diesel fuel. A contra-piston is fitted, allowing the compression ratio to be tuned once the engine is running. In 1945 the British Air Ministry relaxed its total ban on powered flight for models but set certain regula- tions including one that limited engine run-time to 45 seconds per flight. Each engine is fitted with a fairly straight forward carburettor which includes a tiny “fuel tank” which satisfied the standing rules! Both engines share a similar layout based on a single aluminium casting for the crankcase. The cylinder barrel is cut from high tensile steel and the long piston is turned from iron bar. no piston ring is required. The single piece, overhung crankshaft is also machined from high tensile HE2104 5cc Aeromodeller- Drawing & Construction Notes steel and runs in a long bronze main bearing. Whilst the original connecting rod was machined from gauge plate modern constructors generally choose Duraluminium and this material is included in the material kit. The transfer port is made from thin folded sheet and is silver-soldered to the cylinder. There are of course no contact breaker points or cam, no coil and no spark plug! Sparey was a true pioneer of model engines and powered flight and these 2 projects are well known to all IC enthusiasts. Of the two, the larger unit is considered easier to build owing to the size of the components. With a bore x stroke of Ø5/16 x ½” and standing just 3” tall, the 0.63cc unit can spin a Ø7” x 4” propeller at 5,600rpm. The 5.0cc unit stands 4.6” tall with a bore x stroke of Ø11/16” x 7/8” and will swing a Ø16” propeller at 5,600rpm.

The Aero V-Twin V-TWIN HE1104 The Aero V-Twin - Drawing & Construction Notes

The Aero V Twin has attracted significant interest since its launch in 1983. Chenery's successful design has been reproduced by hundreds of enthusiasts over the years and examples can be seen flying on every continent. The engine sounds magnificent on a nice slow, low pass. The engine is a 15cc (0.91 cu in), 90º V Twin 4 stroke, with overhead valves activated by push rods. The engine can be constructed either for spark ignition or glow plugs and will happily swing a 16" propeller at 6,000 rpm. The engine weighs in at just 30oz (850g) less coil and battery pack and would be perfect for scale models with wingspans of 60" - 72". With Bore x Stroke of Ø13/16" x 7/8", the Aero V Twin's components are of a sensible size for construction on virtually any lathe and mill. Mr. Chenery's construction notes are highly detailed and we feel happy to propose this project to those with 'moderate' abilities. This great engine has now been further enhanced. Moulds have recently been commissioned for investment castings (lost wax), providing superb detailing and integrity. 11 A2-size drawings from L Chenery's originals together with a total of 21 pages of detailed build notes.

The Jones .605 JONES HE1304 The Jones .605 - Drawing & Construction Notes

Designed by Colin Jones, this 10cc engine (0.605 cu.in.) employs "modern" principles to get the job done. In common with most sports glow plug engines it features 'front' induction with the fuel/air mixture entering through a hollow crankshaft. Also employed to good effect is a classic Schnüerle port liner with exhaust, boost and 2 transfer ports on either side. The engine weighs just 16oz. (450g) and can swing an 11" x 7.5" propeller at 12,250rpm with standard fuel and silencer fitted. The engine is so well conceived that it's hard to believe the designer had only owned a lathe for 6 months when he embarked on this project! On this basis we are happy to propose the Jones .605 engine to Aero-modellers of all abilities.

The Whippet WHIPPET HE2404 The Whippet - Drawing & Construction Notes

The Whippet is an elegant 10cc, single cylinder, side valve, 4-stroke petrol engine. Designed for use in scale model boats, the Whippet was released in 1963 and was one of Edgar Westbury's final IC engine designs. Westbury felt certain that the Whippet would "set new standards for stamina, sprightliness and startability". The engine is innovative in several respects. The crankcase and cylinder jacket are integrated into a single casting allowing the engine to have a broad base flange for attachment either to a boat's floor or to a plinth for a stationary installation. Also, by using a short stroke (bore x stroke = Ø1" x ¾") and an additional idler gear in the valve timing train, Westbury has kept the height of the engine to a minimum. Aesthetically, this gives the engine a distinctively compact appearance. Westbury has taken great pains to simplify the design for newcomers. The overhung crankshaft is housed in plain bushes within a separate housing, avoiding the need for a split big-end bearing. A simple barrel-throttle carburettor is employed without the need for a float chamber. This is a very pleasing project, requiring just your patience and concentration to produce a classic model engine with great charm. If you have access to the Internet, you can see Ron Chernich's build of this great little engine with detailed notes and 100's of photographs. A single but highly detailed A2-size sheet, together with Westbury's original build notes.

The Seal SEAL HE1804 Seal - Drawing & Construction Notes

One can imagine the stir this engine caused when it was released in 1947! Westbury, in his efficient manner, was at pains to explain the practical virtues of a multi-cylinder layout for scale cruisers and launches up to around 4ft long. "Reduced height... a more realistic marine installation..." 'Practical' be damned; this engine promised constructors an end to the swingeing austerity of WW2. During a period when less than 5% of UK households owned a car, to build and run an engine that was every bit as sophisticated as the real thing, was the answer to a virgin's prayer! 60 years on (with around 40% of UK households owning 2 or more cars!) building and running the Seal offers no less satisfaction to the constructor. The layout of the Seal owes a lot to pre-war automotive design, using side valves and a two bearing crank to reduce complexity. The combined inlet and exhaust manifold casting is a brave and successful touch, as is the HT distributor assembly. A carburettor design with automatic mixture compensation is provided and can be fitted in an up-draught or down-draught attitude. The 10 castings for the Seal are aluminium, keeping the weight of the engine to a minimum. The crankshaft, perhaps the most demanding component, is cut from high tensile steel bar and has a stoke of 11/16". With a bore of Ø5/8", the swept capacity of the Seal is actually 13.8cc, rather than 15cc which is often quoted. The engine block measures 3" x 3" x 4" (H x W x L). The Seal is known as a good starter (how could it fail with 2 sparks per revolution?) and a very flexible runner. The Seal is also known as a "rights of passage" project that each must face before being dubbed a "craftsman". To help constructors along their quest however, the build notes 2 A2-size drawings together with 58 pages of illustrated notes on building the Seal.

The Sealion SEALION HE2004 The Sealion - Drawing & Construction Notes

The Sealion engine was released in 1959, coinciding with the launch of BMC's Mini and the opening of the UK's first motorway, the M1. The Sealion sports a gear driven overhead cam; an expensive performance feature for 1959; limited to manufacturers such as Jaguar, Aston Martin and Mercedes Benz. Whilst adding to the complexity of the valve train, the Sealion's SOHC arrangement offers more efficient breathing with higher compression ratios. This is a high performance engine and to many it is also Westbury's most refined and ambitious project. The Sealion has a bore x stroke of Ø7/8" x ¾" providing a swept displacement of 29.6cc (1.8 cu.in.). The flat faced cylinder head seats 8 vertical valves, operated by short rockers from an offset, 8-lobe camshaft. The camshaft is supported by 3 bearings within a separately mounted housing, the base of which closes off the water jacket. Westbury calls for a rocker cover formed from 1/16" sheet but many constructors substitute a Perspex/Plexiglas cover. The mechanism is simply too attractive to be hidden away!

The Seagull SEAGULL HE1704 The Seagull - Drawing & Construction Notes

The Seagull engine was launched in 1950 and was based aesthetically on a number of engines that were available to power river and harbour boats of the period (Russell Newbery DM, Stuart Turner P55). The layout will be familiar to period Narrow Boat enthusiast where this type of unit, coupled to a simple reversing box, would beat away merrily until the cows came home. Westbury states in the build notes that " ..there is a unique charm about a really docile and flexible engine, which must be experi- enced to be believed...” Westbury's Seagull is an in-line twin with separate, water cooled cylinders and heads. The 2 pistons move in unison, a form known as "360º Twin". The 10cc engine has a bore x stoke of Ø3/4" x 11/16" and breathes through side valves, reducing both the number of components and their complexity. Certain successful features from the Seal engine have been incorporated, including a combined inlet/exhaust manifold casting, a carburettor with mixture compensation and an oil trough to ensure good lubrication to the bottom end. The Seagull will appeal to constructors of moderate ability who appreciate genuinely great design.

2 A2-sized drawings are supplied together with 46 pages of Westbury's illustrated notes on building the Seagull. Whilst they are well drafted, a few details shown in the notes seem to be missing from the drawings... Armed with both there should be no difficulties.

The Wallaby WALLABY HE2304 The Wallaby- Drawing & Construction Notes

Following the successful launch of the diesel powered Aveling & Porter Road Roller in 1938, Westbury turned his attention to developing an IC powered model locomotive. In 1941 the 3½" gauge 1831 LMS Shunting Locomotive was released. As one would expect, the design was highly innovative and performance was exceptional. As Westbury anticipated however, locomotive enthusiast (then as now) would not easily abandon steam! The powerful engine developed for this project however was adapted to suit many application, including both marine and stationary installations. In 1962 a "Mk2" version of this much renowned engine was created and dubbed The Wallaby. Those in-the-know site the Wallaby as an example of a truly refined and durable power plant. Westbury, a master of understatement simply noted that it was "an engine capable of packing a good punch for its size, yet docile and flexible withal, and not too difficult to construct". With a bore x stroke of Ø1" x 1 1/8", the 360º vertical twin provides a useful 29.0cc of swept displacement. Heavy split main bearings ensure a rigid bottom end and the 2 A2-size drawings together 30 pages of Westbury's original Wallaby notes. An additional drawing is supplied for camshaft, driven by broad timing gears, operates over- the Kiwi Mk2 carburettor, along with 4 pages of construction notes.

The Kiwi Mk 2 KIWI HE1404 The Kiwi Mk 2- Drawing & Construction Notes

The Kiwi Mk2 is a 15cc, OHV 4 stroke with a big reputa- tion. Originally designed by Westbury in 1935 it was a tremendously popular project due in no small way to the complete absence of commercially available model engines during the war years. When updating the design in 1960 Westbury commented that "the Kiwi has always been the favourite of the beginner, who could be fairly sure of making it and getting it to run successfully". Westbury seldom quoted performance figures for his designs, arguing that build quality varied so widely that a hard number would be misleading. However... the Mk1 Kiwi returned 5/8bhp @ 8,500 rpm on Professor D H Chaddick's custom built dynamometer; enough to power a 24" hydroplane at 40mph! With its ball race main bearings, stiffened crankcase and cooler running cylinder, your Mk2 Kiwi could well hit 50bhp per litre! The engine has a conventional British motorcycle appearance; perhaps a BSA C15 or a Norton ES2. With a bore x stroke of Ø1" x 1 1/8", the Kiwi stands 6" tall from sump to rockers. The Kiwi's simplified camshaft operates open push rods, rockers and vertical overhead valves so aspira- tion of the running engine can be readily observed; a fascinating feature! The carburettor for the Kiwi is simple yet well conceived; providing the mixture compensation that is essential to flexible running. A cast float chamber accepts a balsa wood (or cork) float for further refinement. Lubrication is via a metered drip feed system which is remotely mounted from the engine.

The Ransome & May Mill Engine - 1850 RANSOME & MAY HE5304 Ransome & May Mill Engine - Drawings ONLY

Ransomes, founded in 1799, made their name in chilled-cast plough- shares before entering the steam markets in the early 1840's. This 8nhp mill engine was demonstrated at the Great Exhibition of London in 1851 with a size and functionality that set the Ransome brand apart throughout both the British and Russian Empires. The Ransome family of Ipswich, like the Cadburys, the Clarks, the Lloyds, the Wedgewoods and the Darbys, set out with their Quaker beliefs to do genuine good rather than simply to make money. In 1849 James Ransome erected a Workman's Hall to house "single men and lads....with a cheerful room to spend his evenings in and to prevent a too early and therefore improvident marriage, in order to escape from the discomfort attending a solitary existence". Geoffrey King, a professional Engineer and member of the Newcomen Society, designed this 1/12th scale replica in 1958 from an example which was in service until 1921. With a bore x stroke of ¾" x 1½", the engine has a double acting slide valve with 4 bar guides, a marine type big-end, an eccentric driven feed pump, a hand cranked stop valve and a Watts type governor, driven by ordinary chain running in grooved pulleys. Under steam the engine is a delight, especially with its governor weighted for slow running. The engine sits on a bedplate measuring 9 1/8" x 2 ¼" with a flywheel diameter of 7". The engine is beautifully presented on 4 A2 sheets. Also included is an article by Mr. King detailing the engine's Whilst construction is somewhat more involved than say a Stuart Victoria engine, the Ransome & May replica installation in a 3 story Norfolk grist (flour) mill.

B. Hick & Son – Crank Overhead Engine HICKCOH HE 5104 B. Hick & Son - Crank Overhead Engine - Drawings & Photos

Situated in the centre of Britain's cotton and coal industries, Benjamin Hick grew his Bolton foundry business to employ over 400 men before his death in 1842. His son John then partnered with William Hargreaves in 1845 to form Hick, Hargreaves & Co, supplying a vast range of stationary and locomotive steam engines, boilers, water wheels and mill gearing to customers at home and overseas (including India, Russia, Spain, South America, China, and Japan). In 1864, they were also responsible for the introduction of the highly efficient American Corliss valve gear into the UK. Continuing his father's great leap into the middle-classes, John Hick MP represented Bolton in Parliament from 1868 - 1880. At home in Lancashire however, he retreated regularly to his full steam driven workshop where Mrs. Hick stoked the vertical boiler! This particular 10nhp engine was shown by the company at the Great Exhibition in 1851, alongside their diminutive 2nhp Oscillating Engine. Geoffrey King, a professional Engineer and member of the Newcomen Society, detailed this 1" to 1' replica in 1956 from the original Hick drawing set. The vertical layout made this engine particularly suitable for driving "manufactory" line shafting, with the cylinder, valve chest and feed pump installed in a pit below. Where more that 10nhp was required, gangs of engines could be coupled together and managed by a single boiler and "engineer".

Complete with its 7" x 8½" plinth the model stands almost 14" tall propelling a Ø7½" flywheel. With a bore x stroke of ¾" x 1 7/8", the engine has a double acting slide valve, an eccentric driven feed pump and a Watts type gover- nor, driven directly from the crank with bevel gears.
