{"product_id":"westbury-atom-v-stock-code-2186","title":"Westbury Atom V","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA very nicely made model to Edgar Westbury's \"Atom V\"  design for a 30cc 2-stroke engine, serialised in \"Model Engineer\"  magazine 1945-46. At that time the latest in a long line of developmental  engines designed by Westbury, the Atom V was an advanced design with coil  ignition and oil pump for lubrication of the main bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis example recently came in from the son of the builder (along  with the Double Ten and 10V steam plant). Built in 1946, it was featured on the  front cover of Model Engineer, March 27th 1947 (issue 2392). Inside the front  cover, the editor wrote:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The model petrol engine illustrated this week is an example of the \"Atom V\" 30-c.c. two-stroke racing engine, as designed by Mr. Edgar T. Westbury, and constructed by Mr J.A.Powell, of Crewe.  This engine embodies many novel and up-to-date features, including special design of cylinder-head and porting arrangements, rotary admission valve and fully-automatic carburettor. Provision is also made in the design for a built-in-mechanical starter, although this is not fitted to the example shown. The constructor, who has done full justice in his workmanship to this outstanding design, states that the engine starts easily, controls perfectly on the throttle lever over a wide range of speed, and has a very high performance\".\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe copy of \"Model Engineer\" is included. The builder  was related to Harry Powell, the locomotive builder, his son remembers visiting  the great man's workshop when a boy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIt's a super looking thing, which currently decorates the top of  my piano. I think it's the rather rakishly-angled exhaust pipes that do it for  me!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHeight 10 inches (to top of spark plug)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cimg border=\"0\" src=\"images\/2186-g.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"587\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009562956117,"sku":"2186","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2186-1.webp?v=1779898236","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/westbury-atom-v-stock-code-2186","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
