Nice to see your own video Nick of the Stuart one-one, i know they still have the patterns for this model and i do hope it might get reintroduced at some point.

Quote from: Nick
I was up to four S-50's, so one had to go... I have two early round cranks and a good running later example that I want to add a governor to. That NIB model was too nice for me to modify and sat on the shelf for many years un-used.

Fair enough and i know what you mean hope the funds went towards something else.

Quote from: Stoker
Those are beauties all Philip. You have a very good eye and discriminating taste I see!

Thanks Daniel i'm very happy with all of mine, you can't beat the classic Stuart paint job IMO. I think the only other engines i'd like to add to my collection apart from the one-one would be the Stuart beam, No 1 and No 9 horizontal.
Your nose is before your eyes, so trust it first!

I started my model engine building career with Stuarts. The first one was just the 10 vertical. I learned how to machine one piece cranks, fixturing and setups. Great kits.

I used my #10 vertical plus the castings for another 10 but with column supports to build a power plant. Along with the engines and Stuart boiler I machined the water pump. I used to use this setup to power my saw mill model at old engine shows. I made a propane burner for the boiler. It worked better than the spirit burner.

Nice set up using the #10 and Stuart boiler.

Stuart Turner, Anything goes... Gas or Steam, Big or Small, Boilers & Engines, Polished or Rusty, Restored or Un-restored, Castings to Completed, DUPLICATES Welcome!!

I'll start off with a group photo, hard to see, but most are in need of work... hopefully I have enough years and find that "round-tuit"... Ignore the dust and rust, they came here with the rust, but I've added some dust. Individual pictures on the way, but please post some of yours  ;)

Woah, Nick! You've amassed a heck of a Stuart collection.

May I ask what the boiler, center of the photo and directly in front of the compound, is? I havent seen one before and I like the looks of it. Very sharp.
