The closest I'll ever get to a 'beamer'...

...as in BMW. Had some time over the holiday and just got this EP beam engine back together. It had been apart and on the shelf for 5-6 years.

So very nice.  Anything like a known model number on it?

Thanks Scott. I think it's in the Youtube description--model 106 from 1902-03. The older one in the background is from the 1890s.

It's a great runner, Brent!


I always loved that the engine bed on these sits on nice ornate cast stands.

Oh that's nice. Smooth as silk and still a little sassy looking. I like it!
