Thanks, Gil! I felt like I went back in time when I got this engine.
The heater in this one is marked 550 watts and it makes plenty of steam.
One of my other Big Power Plants is even earlier than this one, but unfortunately, the original heater was gone when I got it.
Mike, I can barely believe the ink is so clear and crisp where it says 550 watts. Just amazing. As you suggested, must have been steamed very little.

When I got the engine, the sight glass was assembled without any packings and the packing nuts were screwed down tight as if they would seal it up by some miracle. I suspect this was done a long time ago and the engine was given up on at that point, but it’s really anyone’s guess as to why this engine survived so long with so little use.
