Moreover, at my request Dave Jones was very happy to add his own comments to what Ken has written. I’m therefore most grateful to Ken Croft for setting down his own approach to the construction of one of these neat little diesels. Although the step-by-step construction of one of these engines was documented by the late Ron Chernich on his fabulous “ Model Engine News” (MEN) website, every individual builder will inevitably develop his own approaches to the challenges involved. In late 2019 and early 2020, superb examples of the Clan were completed from these plans both by Ken Croft and Dave Jones of Queensland, Australia.

That publication may be found elsewhere on this website, including the plan for the Clan. The plans for the Clan are included in the “Members Only” plan book developed by Motor Boys International and subsequently organized and shared by Ken Croft. Because it uses no castings, this engine makes an attractive home construction project, especially for those who have only small machine tools. The well-known little 0.24 cc Clanford Clan sideport diesel has been covered in some detail by Maris Dislers in a separate article to be found on this website. Rogstadius 2 cc diesel (Swedish Dyno copy)ĭetails of each of these engines follow below. More will be added as additional plans are received.ĭragonFleadiesel - either 0.113 cc or 0.154 cc displacement The following is an alphabetical listing of the plans which presently appear here. Once again, I reserve the right to edit any such submissions. If accepted for publication, any such submissions will be added to the Technical Topics pages on this website. I also remain open to the submission of additional articles on various aspects of the home construction of model engines in general. As always, I reserve the right to confirm the suitability for publication of any material submitted and to write my own commentary on the engines represented by the plans. For convenience in locating a particular plan, the entries will appear here in alphabetical order rather than in the order in which they were received.Īny reader having access to hi-res (i.e., legible and basically unmarked) plans not included either here or elsewhere on this website is hereby cordially invited to submit them to me for publication along with a clear and representative photograph of a complete example of the engine in question and any construction guidance which may be available.

This new page will confine itself to plans for engines not captured in any of the above pages. With the invaluable assistance of my good friend Ken Croft, a resident of Southern France, I've already been privileged to make the Motor Boys Planbook and the Members-Only Plan Book available elsewhere on the site, and the plans for the Weaver 1 cc diesel also appear here in a separate article. With this thread, I'm creating an area on this website where plans for model engines which can be constructed at home may be found.
