Microcosm Vertical Single Cylinder Steam Engine Model 31

Had a lot of fun building a new plinth base for this engine as well as a chuff pot/condensate trap and some other modifications, enjoyed the woodworking and metalworking and making a lot of the parts on my lathe.

You have done a tremendous job of tarting that brass beauty up, even providing some color contrast with the copper chuff pot ..... NICE!

Looking forward to seeing that beauty run!!!

Nice!

Good-looking job all-round. And, I think you should let it mature to a natural patina. Ma deux centimes.

Steam on!
