Marie "E" (2025 Update)

I built a Marie-E way back when the design first appeared. It is a very easy model to build and runs very well.

However, there are several errors in the drawings and several design faults that need correcting.

I redesigned the regulator so that it worked - Don Young published my redesign in LLAS - as well as redesigning the valve spindle assembly so that the valves can be set properly. Also the reach rod needs modifying so that the engine runs chimney first when in forward gear!

If you need any further info please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I had to do a quick web search to find out what "LLAS" was, and ran across this article by someone else who built this engine:

Hello I am currently working on a a 5" gauge Marie E and having problems with the regulator. Having read your information re the regulator redesign can you supply any further information on this design or is there any articles showing the new regulator..
