New project unknown mill engine
« on: March 03, 2022, 01:34:30 pm »
Got this parts from a garage sale - most of the screws missing and
there is no platform - but I think it can be brought back to work.
I like the oilers (Bischoff style) First I took measure for a wooden
base - then I will polish all parts and make some repaints.

No idea of the manufacturer maybe scratch build - who knows more?

A proper base and a lot of polishing, and i believe you will have a gem of an engine.

...I can hear the engine sighing with relief that it is in good hands now!

It was not as easy as I thought - but finally
it is ready for a steam test . With compressed air
it works very well. I think I will mount a Main valve
behind the cylinder - maybe tomorrow....
