''Otto's new engine'' from 1867

Set of cast Parts

 

This model engine is the first engine built in series by Nikolaus August Otto, which also became known as "Otto's new four-stroke engine".
This engine was offered in various sizes. There was a two, four, six and eight hp engine.
This model is the eight hp version on a scale of 1:10. Although it is very difficult to reconcile attention to detail with functionality in functional model making, I have managed to fulfil this requirement here. On the other hand, building the model also places high demands on the modeller.
