A vintage model of a side wheeler steam engine from the 1950's.
This model has a significant number of motion elements which by-and-large function as intended. However, I was unable to match the direction of rotation of the paddle wheels with that of the engine. Also, the paddles are articulated with a 'feathering' linkage that I could not get to animate. Obviously a measure of my inexperience with Fusion 360.

Ever since I discovered how a gasoline engine worked I have felled in love with engines. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Part of the allure of steam engines is that you can see many of the moving parts. This model certainly had its share.

I have yet to learn how to do this, but I can say that this work is of great quality. I'm certain that you'll find a way to solve the synchronization issue. Godspeed!

Thanks for the kind words. I started from zero but there are lots of instructional videos that were a great help in learning the basics, From there it is a lot of trial and error but the effort is worth it. Recently acquired a 3D printer and will shortly post a video of my first efforts at making a physical model from the digital version, (Though not this model - a bit challenging for my initial eperiment!)
