I had a set of those castings about 10-12 years ago.


I traded them to my friend, John Coleman, who sadly passed away a few years back.
I was having him machine the castings for me. He fell in love with the engine and asked me to work out a way he could keep it and I said sure, why not.


John made a lot of neat items for the steam engine hobby including the governor kit for the Stuart S-50 and he as a very good machinist.


Some of you may remember him as Eclectors Devices, Inc. / The Steam Chest
I wish I could find a picture of the engine.
Below is a picture of John and his sons, Christmas 2010.
