• This thread was inspired by @PO9RCHE thread entitled “Wood Wooden Beam engine Elmer plans??”.
  
  I purchased this engine in 2019 at the Cabin Fever Live Auction.  It will run on 1psi.
  
  Below is a short video that I recorded today of it running on air.

• Stunning.  Love the woodwork too.  Thanks for the refrence photos as I can use them ti get mine running.  I think mine will be air run only as well.  I really cant wait to show a video.  Yours is great runs perfect.  Thanks for the Share again. Also I didnt realize I said wood wooden beam rather than walking beam 😂
  
  also same fly wheels with the 3 wood flatts combining to make 1.  And Much better varnish job and base.  I dont think mine was ever finished
