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

Welcome Aboard, James...!!!   From Connecticut.

For steam cylinder oil you can go to PM Research, JensenSteam Engines, or Ministeam.
There are others but these are all good suppliers to our hobby.


For Jensen Steam Engines, best to call them and order.

You can't beat Jensen for friendly help.
PM Research has the best price.

Green Velvet is also like by some and I don't know enough about the suppliers.

They will all work if as mentioned by Jan (above) you use steam cylinder oil on or on what the steam will touch. It is blended to mix with steam and water.


Fuel:

For the alcohol burners, hardware stores and paint stores sell denatured alcohol.

For indoor use, while more costly, Everclear or Graves grain alcohol are 95% (190 proof) and they burn so clean they will not stink up your house or make your eyes water.

Have fun!
