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

Ya’ll I tricked out my 364/1 a little bit and put it on a wood plinth. (Yes I still have the original base) and can put back as original if ever wanted, but I plan to keep it forever so why not make it look the way I like?  I found a giant syringe and surely pumping almost an entire boiler of hot water can be done in a matter of seconds by tricking out the water pump. (See below).



Thanks again Charlie for hookin me up with another oak plinth.  Surely makes these engines look nice.

Looks good on wood.

Also good to keep the original base. Well done.

Here I demonstrate injecting water into the boiler. You will see the engine stall as steam is regenerated!
