I really like the tiny vertical engine. Have you steamed it?

I will add that George's Mary Beam is even more impressive in person.
He has displayed it at the NAMES Show.

Beautiful Mary. I am curious- how does it compare in size to a Stuart major beam?

Welcome aboard, George!

I would like to add that George is capable of making very small engines.

I am very fortunate that George made one of his miniature marvels available to us.
MrsRedRyder has informed me that since it is one of the miniatures, it goes in her collection!
After all, about 15 years ago she took over the miniatures collection at the Office of Steam.

Here are a couple pictures:

I had posted a video of my Mary running and was asked if I had a picture showing the other side of the engine. I don't have a video of the other side but here are some pictures of the engine from different angles.
This was built from Reeves castings.
