Pufango boiler?


Yes. It works perfectly and matches the Stuart copper boiler.

The Pufango beam engine I still have, but the boiler was absolute garbage at making steam. 

Great for condensing though.

Water feed pump addition & condenser painted.


Still need a water cup.

Near completion. All that is left is a Generator and a Lamp Post…. Which I am ordering one from MTH trains! [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Fixed up the condenser exhaust a bit. Hole was a bit too small previously. This works better:

Blowdown pipe to water cup, also great for emptying the boiler.

Update:


Installed a drain valve on the condenser, for easy draining. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Nice set up, always a treat to see a well Machined Stuart run.

Another update,  painted the globe valve handles red along with painting the condenser a rugged black look.

Thanks, Bruce.

It’s coming along… still need to do a generator and belt.

Bonjour,
I am a little bit surprized to see the oil lubricator after the throttle (damper/register) valve as it should be before to lubricate it.

However, at low pressure, steam is auto lubricating so it does not matter.

Besides this, this plant is quite beautiful, the red is "THE" final touch!
