Two Stuart S50 engines, the green one I have had for a long time but it needed a lot of work, the black one I acquired only very recently, and it prompted me to finally get around to attending to the first one. Required a third donor S50, as the original driveshaft on the green one was bent, along with plenty of other issues and parts swaps. Fortunately the black one required nothing more than a good cleaning, it was covered with a layer of dried steam oil residue, which had protected it well (it had clearly seen a lot of run time). Both are now absolutely tight and smooth runners, the black runs on barely a puff of air. I believe that both are older models, having the bronze cylinders and valve chests.
