A very solid little steamer , should last for a long time (already has I guess) nice work on the firebox.

The chimney is an ebay purchase. For the burner house, I would have used stovepipe paint instead of brake caliper paint. It doesn't shine that much. :-[

Thank you Wayne,

I already have one or the other machine there. Fits in there quite well.

Sweet!
Nice looker!
If you had a collection of tiny engines,
this would be a natural addition.

Thank you Tommy,

Unfortunately, I failed to take pictures of the condition of the machine when I received it. Except for the rusted burner house and the missing parts, there was only some resinous oil and dust.

That's a little cutie alright. Not sure how bad it was at first except for what you mentioned but now,
that's nice. Clean and simple.

Dear steam community,

It's the weekend and time to introduce another of my steam engines. The machine is not particularly big, in fact very small for its time (approx. 1936 - 1939).

Doll 308/2 - Horizontal steam engine, flywheel and Cylinder on the boiler.

The boiler is only 93 mm long and has a diameter of 38 mm. The flywheel has a diameter of 50 mm and the cylinder is 8 mm. The base plate measures 105 x 160 mm.

When I got the little machine, the chimney and burner were missing. I have now replaced both with original parts. I repainted the burner house with heat-resistant black paint. The rust would be too much for me. Everything else was cleaned and polished.

Until the next performance.
Have a nice Weekend
