Here's an Elliott Bay Triple  expansion steam launch engine.

The Elliott Bay Triple.
I got it fixed up enough to run at steam shows but not fit for service in a launch.
It will idle at 50-60 rpm all day on 5-6 psi live steam.
At near 400 lbs it was way beyond my ability to lift rule.
As I said before that rule is not always written in stone.
It is now in it's new home in the UK, hopefully getting brought up to fit for service standards.
