Redryder's Full Sized Table of Steam
« on: February 29, 2020, 08:42:19 pm »
Here I will show some video footage of some of the full sized engines at the Office of Steam.


Here is my display at the Connecticut Antique Machinery Fall Show.







And....

I have a nice iron wheeled cart with 2 twin cylinder steam engines mounted.

Whoa Gil .... playin' with all that big stuff, sure must keep you awfully busy, though I suspect it does not necessarily keep you out of trouble!    ;c)

Nice ..... Super Nice!!!

Thanks, Daniel, Charlie, and Scott!


I must admit I enjoy watching these when I don't have enough time to fire up the big boiler.

Quite right, Nick!


My recollection was starting in around 3 pm or a bit after and finishing up around 7:30 pm followed by a few hours of cleaning and putting all the equipment to rest properly.
