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

Thought I'd share a couple of pictures of the Stuart steam plant that I started to restore but never finished. I got the clean and paint bit done but still needs a makeup water tank and a burner plus TLC in the way of gaskets and adjustments for use with steam. It's the latest of my closet cleaning crusade.          [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Thanks, originally I intended to completely finish it with makeup water tank and a burner but other things took priority. I've still got four or five more unfinished projects that I'll be lucky if I get done. Should have started steaming when I was young.

No, it has only been run on air.  At some point the desire and time to finish it went away and it was time to move on. I find that not having anyone to pass steam engines on to has affected me to some extent but still look forward to a couple of upcoming projects - but this just wasn't one of them.

I really wish you were closer Larry, would love to stop by and enjoy some steam-ups with you! My brief visit wasn’t enough…
