JF FALK overtype runs a BING Organ grinder
« on: August 01, 2021, 11:11:10 am »
We had a rainy Sunday - time to launch my big FALK Overtype 456 / 4S on Steam.
I didn't use the original burner - 3 heads generate too much heat - so I took
a small one with 1 head (self-made). I added a bing organ grinder to the flywheel
having nice music while vaping. The engine runs very well and almost leak-proof.
Only the exhaust spits out water and oil - next time i will use a small hose.
Enjoy, Arnold ;D

Hello Arnold,

There are worse ways to spend Sunday. Especially when it rains. Whenever I watch the organ grinder at work, I have the feeling that the man can't be very happy. He seems to have to put a lot of effort into his work.

In any case, you have given me a nice Sunday evening with the pictures and the video.
Cheers
Jürgen

Beautiful engine, and the organ grinder looks remarkably realistic and human in the video. If I didn't already know, from some angles I would think it was a video of real man there!

I agree with Gregowen its uncannily realistic.  Great video and your machine is such a solod runner.  I really appreciated the water pump gearing and how methodical it was.   Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!
