Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

This is my Stuart 10V marine steam plant that I had planned on fixing up to go into a large hull that I have.  Somewhere along the line I thought it would make a nice stationary display so I ended up mounting it all on a base complete with a reversing propeller setup.  It runs well on air and who knows someday it may end up in a boat but for now it's just another pretty piece in a display cabinet, not the worst outcome by any means.

Beautiful Job Larry 

Very very nice!

Awesome job Larry!

Have you steamed it up?

I would love to see a video.

I haven't steamed it up yet Charlie as I'm keeping it fairly pristine as a display piece.  That may not appeal to a lot of folks but it works for me. I like seeing steam engines as "pretty" as possible.  On air it's a sweet runner so the only worry down the road would be getting the burner set correctly which isn't a big problem.  The boiler is exceptionally well made and as a whole it's a great setup.

WOW!
