Great Steam Plant - did't know that they produced steam engines Down Under.
I like the simple design of a 2-cylinder oscillating engine - very few mechanically
parts. I think the instruction sheet and box is very rare too!
I made one myself  using scrap metal. Have a small video. Happy steaming!
Merry go around



That is a very interesting design and in need of further looking at .

New Zealand made engines

Cranko ( 1945 - 1956 ).
David Auld ( 1966 ish  - 1990s )
BriMo  around 1970s
Alex Radford
W H Price
Topliss  1965 ?
Turbo Jet
I have some of each

Cheers
Dennis
