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

Greetings once more.

Here is another for my table.

This is a Model Dockyard #5 as shown in the 1872 catalog.

It weighs 80-90 lbs and was not a model but a full sized steam engine that a model engineer could power his workshop with.

It requires a little more pressure than many of my steam engines because mechanically it is still like new and not yet broken in.
When it is running you can hear that all is tight.

Enjoy the beast!

Gil

Here is the page describing it in the 1872 Model Dockyard catalog and the artist's cut.
Imagine buying the whole steam plant for 30 Pounds Sterling!
