I built the engine in 600 hours. I will only run this on air. I do not have the means to make a video.
Wow, I am truly impressed. If you lived close by I would be more than happy to video that fine machine for you, I would consider it a privilege.

How long did you work on the project?

Are you going to steam it?

I would love to see a video of it running on steam or air.

This is the Build of the Year IMHO.

Well done!

Post by: St Paul Steam on October 11, 2024, 08:31:08 am: Thanks for the extra photos, most are nearly identical, but from the one that showed a little bit of the mechanics, looks really nice and complex. Well done from what I can discern.

Post by: modelbuff on October 10, 2024, 06:31:54 pm: Last month I finished building a St Helens steam engine. This a model of an engine built to pump water for the Kirkby area of England in 1880. The ful size engine was a two cylinder compound with one 60 " and one 32" cylinder. The engine was rated to pump 1.5 million gallons of well water per 24 hour period. I bought the castings from a German company called Steel of Steam.[attachimg=1] If you scroll down you will find more pictures.
