That's pretty cool Randy ....  I'm sort of surprised Tom Sr. didn't come up with a like unit!

That's neat Maxwell. Thanks for sharing it. I've never seen that before.  Glad everyone likes my creation.

Randy, excellent modification, and it works great. I am sharing my 110 year old Bing self propelled steam generator. This one comes with an engagement & disengagement lever and reduction gear in case one would like to run the oscillating engine only to prop a toy or a line shaft only. I have also seen similar designs by Plank & Marklin.

That's a beauty. Randy, couldn't you just turn the genny/engine around to point the exhaust away from the boiler. The steam line can turn to the left.

I have already drilled exhaust ports out to the side. Bad thing is it blows on boiler now. Going to get some brass tube and make 90 degree exhaust pipes to turn it away from boiler. The mount I made for cylinder blocked off the original exhaust ports.

8) 8) That is an AWESOME Modified Engine!!

Are you going to route the exhaust somewhere else to keep it from spitting all over the generator?

Got bored ( stuck at home over Covid-19 lockdown) so I come up with this modified engine/generator.
