Hi All.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or thoughts on this engine? The listing said 8 1/2" high.

Misread the description. Should be 6" to top of steam chest.

Forgot I'd posted here.

Turns out it was a Stevens model dockyard twin vertical marine engine. Google came through once I'd norrowed the search down👍

Not too shabby!

From what I can see in the picture  it looks like all you need to do is make one eccentric and strap (and you have the pattern), and away it'll go!
