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

Thanks for the information. One of my engines has a resistance wire coil in a ceramic holder that is screwed to the frame. The second one has the same type setup but seems to clip in somehow (I’m trying to figure it out). This one has a sheet metal shield around the prongs the cord plugs into. The third one is a piece of sheet metal wrapped around some sort heating element. It is bent to follow the form of the boiler. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t work.
