Post by: Nick on June 19, 2020, 06:25:14 pm: Can't wait to see the new one ;) I'll try and get the video of mine tonight that fits in with these... It's a tiny plastic marble run that fits in your hand but works really well.

Thanks Nick!

These would be great kits for your boys to assemble for a cold winter activity.

And... What about ME??? ;) :D :D

LOL Nick!

I got another one yesterday. Looking forward to assembling it this weekend.

I'm sure the kids will like it, whoever's sitting at the table next to me will not like it

Got to give those engines something to do.
Are those kits plastic ?
It would be possible to use the Beam parts as former and cast metal ones ??

Cheers
Dennis

Agreed Dennis.

The Score is definitely up to the task.

The kits are plastic.

I have never done castings, but the plastic is pretty durable (better than the old car and airplane models I worked on in the late 60s and early 70s).

Post by: txlabman on June 16, 2020, 07:29:59 pm: I previously posted two videos of the DaVinci Series Model Drum and of the Water Pumping Engine Kits sold by Academy Model Hobby Kits (Korea) which I converted to steam accessories.

I mounted both of them on a plinth with my Stuart Score Engine to make a display for future Steam Shows.

I also finished the piping for the Stuart Score and added a PM Research Oiler.

It is running on ~5 psi.
