Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Paula,
Absolutely beautiful work.  I can certainly see the family resemblance between your engine, and the one that Nick picked up, in that the valve chest is held on by 4 studs in the corners, although Nicks is much larger (I am guessing 2" bore like Mine).  Mine is of course different because the cylinder and valve chest is fabricated rather than cast.

I wonder if the larger ones such as Nicks or mine are pictured anywhere in the catalogs or literature.

I searched all over mine for casting marks but can’t find anything other than the number 13 and 11… This guy on SmokStak mentions his had D-M cast into his.

I also wonder if our larger ones never had an extra aluminum base like the smaller ones which needed it because they’re recessed for the flywheel.
