Yep, the engine is no more.... I think it may have turned it's last RPM...

Did a quick check over this morning, and all I get is a rather ominous mechanical thud..... judging by the reports of large flame and black smoke from the pipe, I think I've dropped a piston or two...

Oh well.... it's done good service, so will be building a new engine for the 1/4 mile, which was the plan anyway. Class B here I come !
