M. E. Beam Engine
« on: December 12, 2021, 03:59:12 pm »
I'm working on my model of an English beam engine, that would be from the mid 1800's. Several full sized ones, like this are in the Henry Ford Museum. Got quite a bit more to do on it, but today is it's first time running on compressed air.

Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!

I bought it partially built and had to machine many of the parts and castings.

Looks like a very nice Beam Engine.

Good luck with the completion/restoration.

Making the rest of the wedges that hold the bearings in place.
