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

Hi guys new to the page I just picked up this item I was told a teacher used it to show how steam engines worked it was hooked up to an electric motor any I fo would be great thanks

Greetings and warm welcome from St. Paul In. Oohwee...that's very nice, not sure of the builder but that's got a lot of nice features. It'd be welcome on my shelves.

This was likely home made by a machinist as their hobby, the quality is really beautiful, and is almost museum level in my opinion. It's impossible to know if all the parts are inside to allow it to run on steam or compressed air. Some members of this forum are more than capable and willing to work on engines and could evaluate if it needs anything to be a running engine. If your intent is for it to grace a shelf, it certainly does that already! Just don't turn it into a lamp please haha!

Thank you for the info I definitely don't want it to be turned into a lamp lol id like it to go to someone who will take care of it

I think it fairly safe to assume that anyone on this Forum would certainly be interested in properly maintaining that beautiful machine!
