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

Here it is assembled, I hope to build a cart for it eventually, but this should be a decent test base, the solid wood base is much more sturdy than the soft wood box we are use to on M90 and similar engines. I did use a wood chisel to make some clearance for wires but in the end not much wood was removed. I will tidy up some of the wires but not going to get fancy on this temporary base.
  You may see a shallow tin oil drip pan under the red engine casting and between flywheels...a tobacco can lid or air rifle pellet tin lid works nicely, I will inlay a small coin size magnet in the wood base to hold the pan in place, pan could possibly be slide out to empty. You can order this engine pre built with this base RTR, I saved a few $$ by purchasing as "kit".
  I hope to try to run the engine tomorrow.
