Love the look of that plant...the wooden base really sets it off nicely. You don't see Stuart generators very often, they are a nice addition to any plant.

One correctly crowned pulley is enough given a straight belt and proper alignment.

That's a nice looking plant with all the extras. I assume the flat belt runs true on the flywheel or does it have a tendency to wander? At any rate well done!
The belt runs true, Larry. Someone took the time to align it carefully.
The dynamo pulley is crowned.

Love the planked floor and the larger dynamo 8)

Very very nice, I do like that elegant red pin stripe on the S50 Bob.
And as Daniel mentioned the planking looks great and its nice to see a flat belt driving the generator.
A very nice plant.

Whoa Yes ... that is a beauty as well. and I'm especially taken with the large flat drive belt setup off the outer diameter of the flywheel. A common method used for high gearing in the bygone days, that we rarely see in our models these days!
The planked decking is quite nice and not often seen as well.
Wonderful!!!

A while back. I posted "Stuart S50 Steam Plant," showing what I had acquired from a retired process engineer.
Today, here's my other plant, this one made by an engineer of a different kind--the engineer who was driving the ill-fated CNR Turbotrain the day it caught fire near Morrisburg, Ontario on May 29, 1979 (look it up on Google if you're interested.) https://churcher.crcml.org/circle/Wreck%20Details/1979Morrisburg.html
All I had to do with this one is replace a broken gauge glass.
I consider myself fortunate to have not one but two lovely steam plants.
