ABOUT US Hemingway Kits has been trading in the UK since 1976, providing small workshop owners with a growing range of Workshop Accessory kits to improve productivity, capacity and accuracy. We believe strongly in the importance of well researched and proven projects and are honoured to represent many of the world's most respected designers. It was these same beliefs that lead us to acquire Woking Precision Models in late 2006, providing a continuing source for the incomparable engine designs of Edgar Westbury, Laurence Sparey, G F King, Les Chenery, Eric Whittle, Colin Jones and Len Mason. We are proud to present our new range of classic model engines, developed for aero, marine, automotive, locomotive and stationary scale applications. The collection includes 15 internal combustion engines of virtually every layout. We aim simply to provide the broadest and most refined range of Engines Kits available.
Internal Combustion Engines
“Induction, Compression, Ignition, Exhaust” summarises the detailed development work of Nikolaus Otto, Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, Karl Benz and Rudolf Diesel during the final decades of the 19th century. The world then changed! In all of its many guises, the Internal Combustion (IC) engine has been more influential in promoting the development of machine tools, precision measurement and metallurgy within the global industrial arena than any other product in the last 100 years. This is equally true of the effect that model engines have had and are having on model engineering practices. There can be no doubt that building a running IC engine requires patience, a methodical approach and precision. The crisp bark of one's first IC engine springing into life places it's constructor within an elite global group. We believe that it is the scale of this challenge that provides model engine builders with a unique satisfaction.
‘External’ Combustion Engines
We are working hard to bring a collection of 6 classic scale replicas into production. This range will include stationary steam engines of horizontal, vertical and beam construction designed in the 1950's by G.K.King (Newcomen Society) together with E.T.Westbury's beautifully researched Heinrici Hot Air engine and Cygnet Royal radial marine engine. We have included the first, the Ransome & May Horizontal Mill engine, within this catalogue and hope to make more progress before long.
WHICH ENGINE The Hemingway IC Engine range contains a diverse array of designs:
! 2 strokes with single transfer or Schnüerle porting ! 4 stokes with side valves, push rod driven overhead valves or full overhead cam ! Spark, glow plug and compression ignition variants ! Singles and Twins plus 4 and 8 cylinder layouts ! In-line, V and horizontally opposed construction ! Displacements from 0.63cc to 40cc ! Air cooled and water cooled cylinders and heads ! Drip, splash and forced lubrication The commonality between the engines available from Hemingway Kits is that each has been exhaustively researched and refined into an elegant package that has been proven to work and proven to work well.
