Title: Marine Engine to Mill Engine.
Post by: Tony Bird on September 08, 2022, 04:02:44 am

Hi,

It has been a bit since I played with stationary engines and as the domestic authorities has been making comments that a lot of my steam engines, mostly the prototype ones, don't look very pretty and take up a lot of room. To appease this criticism I have started to try and make some of them more appealing.  I have already done work on one which was attaching it a Towel Rank engine to a water pump which got grudging approval. My next attempt is with a Marine engine that was made some years ago.  Progress to date can be seen at:

Take care Tony.
