The Kit

The Quincy model is aprox 1/3 scale, and is an engine with several interesting features. The bore/stroke is 1.5"/2.2", the flywheels are of heavy cross section, 9" dia. The Quincy is a horizontal hit-miss governed, igniter fired engine with a speed control plus it has a spark retard/advance control. Cooling is liquid, using a water jacket, liner and coolant pump.

Originally, the Quincy 3 hp engine was measued, scaled, and a casting kit was developed in the 1980's. Some engines were built, and can be seen pictured in the archives of past model shows. This kit originally included the major castings, but was mostly built from bar stock and the included prints. Lone Star Engine Works has completely re-designed this kit, giving the builder a much richer set of detailed castings to work with. There are now 24 iron and bronze castings, timing gears, pump parts, seralized nameplate, and an AutoCad prints book included in the kit.
