Can anyone tell me why Douglas bikes were so quiet, when so many others of that time, even ones that had exhaust dampers were so much louder?

kereeen👍

breathtaking. how do you seat the cyl block onto boiler with the studs splayed in 2 dimesions--larger holes. And you use an oiled felt gasket between the two.

🤩🤩🤩🤩

Just watched Reach for the Sky with Kenneth More. In the film's first scene he is riding an original one of these (PK 475) which you get a good look at side-on. Sorry to say so, but one of you has the tank decals very slightly wrong, lol. At least, they're slightly different... _yours and his._ Mind you, yours is a damned sight tidier. A real beauty! Just thought you might want to know?

What a beautiful old bike it is, would love to ride it.

amazing , old motorbike but still okey all.( bagus banget ) , hai i am living in bataam indonesia.

I take it the fuel tank has been re- painted, where did you get the transfers for oiling instructions, name etc. ?

Who's drawings did you use?

Lovely job, can I ask who's drawings you used and how did you find them for accuracy?

Fred dibnah would be beaming with smile

Like BMW, Douglas extensively used horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder engines. Unlike BMW, this engine sat fore and aft in the frame.

It looks a perfect job to me... Congratulations.

That looks an absolutely perfect job to me, on what would have been a rare machine seventy or more years ago. An absolute gem...

That bike is beautiful, if it was mine iwould only ride it the first sunday of every spring and maybe easter weekend

Beautiful, I want it!:)

Have you still have the engine john ?

Just started to build one of these myself - these photos will be a great help, many thanks.

211cc seems to be a very unusual capacity for the engine.

thanks for information regarding paint how's the engine

do u still have the engine part x it for wife

was the granville black sprayed or brushed on , and did you do cylinder in the same paint

if you don't mind me asking, how much do you think you spent to complete her? iv been looking at kits but your talking £17k+ unfortunately.

Thanks for replying have 3inch burrell at mo wanna 4 inch

Is it for sale ?

Very nice. I have just ordered the drawings today for a 4" Burrell and a 4" Foster. Not sure which engine I shall be building yet but it will be one of these two. Was this built from castings or was it a SYW kit?

Lovely bit of work. Well done

Master craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing

A masterpiece well done

Live Steam Models Do a range of different engines

Love the engine . Where is the best place to get castings fore a 4" burrell ? I've built a 1/2 size David brown crop master from scratch and up loaded to UA-cam ,but not shore wether I can build a burrell ,

Hi there, lovely build! Very well done and well.finiahed! I was wondering, when bending the spokes, how did you do it? A press break? Or a jig? Im debating which to use at the moment, as im building a 4 inch burrell using John Rex designs and parts... Im currently putting the front wheels together, before the owner of the engine buys a CE marked boiler...

when machining the shaft tubes, or other parts which span the inside of the horn plates. Do you do it to drawing, or measure the exact overall width of the boiler, to be totally accurate?

I think you know my grandad, Harry Andrews.

Looks great:)

Ford Garnet Red in 2 pack.

lovely work! she looks grand im looking into if one could be done as a roller.

It runs like clockwork love it. Sweet peace of work.

Where did you buy the plans/Drawings from

@andyg3 This is not built from a kit,I have made all parts myself including the boiler.
