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

I went mostly as a seller this year and did in fact do quite well. I made several purchases of small type cast iron pulley operated pieces that my 1\2hp Sipps can operate during my shows , I got a pulley operated drill bit sharpener, sm. Table saw and a small jig saw & the start of a nice size drill press mechanism , these old pieces were surprisingly reasonable and of a robust build quality. I thought I might have made it the whole time without buying a steam engine...but in the last 15 minutes (literally) A PM research #4 was offered up to me & after a little testing it for operation , it came home with me , I can't wait to get home and check out these pieces in closer detail. I am concerned about beating the big winter storm "Izzy" home , but it seems to be further south of us and Indiana appears to be excluded from this storm.
