PM Research #3 Steam Engine
« on: May 21, 2020, 06:38:26 pm »
A just completed PM Research #3 engine running on compressed air.  I machined this engine from the raw castings.  I took my time and got it running pretty well.



In the future it will be paired with a 2.5" Jensen boiler.

You did very well with that project , it's one of the best looking ones I've seen. A Jensen 2 1/2" boiler will be more than enough for that engine 😉👍

Great job!
I have a lot of respect for anyone who makes an engine from castings. I did one back in the day and it’s a lot more challenging than most people realize.

That really turned out good. I like the fact that you didn't overdo it with the paint.

They are great engines, i built the machined kit version. The Jensen boiler will be a great pairing.

Looks great. These are terrific little engines . I just added a pair of oil cups on mine.

Thanks guys!

I have a few other projects lined-up, but I should get back to pairing this with the Jensen boiler in a couple of months.  The next steam engine casting kit in the queue will be a Stuart S50.
