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

I’m glad I didn’t say $50 then    (sight glass, whistle and safety valve are worth that) I didn’t want or need it as I have both the brass/blued chimney 43 and a boxed nickel boiler/chimney 43. A 43 was my first ebay steam engine and still one of my favorite toy steamers. They are a very quiet and smooth runner. I have 2 boxes of Weeden parts, but I may not get to them for a couple of weeks… Does it have the double grooved pulley on the opposite side? I didn’t even look…

Find any others while you were there?

The double grooved pulley is there.  The boiler itself and the heating element and cord are in real nice shape, as are the safety valve and whistle.  I looked at the inside of the boiler with my little bore scope and its very clean.  There is a little blob of solder rattling around, but I hope it will fall out of one of the holes.  All in all I am pleased at $40.00

No others at Albany, But I did get a Mamod SE1A in the box at a different Flea Market the next day for $50.00.  Looks like it has been steamed once.
