Empire #43 & B31 steam engine /water pump
« on: August 15, 2025, 01:56:49 pm »
presenting my Empire #43 & B31 live steam engine & water pump. both have been stripped down & repainted & I added roller ball bearings to the axles in both the steam engine & water pump axles. the boiler does have 2 dings in it. the heater looked really good when I had it apart. I have over $100 in it not counting labor (5hrs total.) I'd like $160 + $15 shipping. Pm me if interested please.

A lovely pairing, running at a splendid pace!

I've seen the pump alone fetch not far short of that asking price!!

Heck, the engine even has an intact whistle shell, which is pretty rare in my experience!!!
