Well, I'm not an expert on Stuart steam products....Though
I'd be happy to foster care anybody's Stuart steam plant.
Anyway, the price is $4k. He knows nothing about the condition
of the boiler and says he's run it on air several times.
Looks like a coal-burner from the shape of the fire-box door.
Whoever gets it will need the boiler pressure tested.
I missed a similar $1,500 deal 5 years or so ago. Live and Learn.

It's a fine build.
I don't believe the engine is a Stuart.
I am guessing it was listed for $10k?

On craigslist I found this engine/boiler setup.
Does anyone recognize it? The owner has never
steamed it, just run it on air. He said it was
made by a licensed steam boiler operator - for
what that is worth. Operating a boiler is a lot
different than building one from scratch.
I think the engine is a Stuart 10
I did just ask if there is any paperwork regarding
the boiler's construction and testing. It would be
nice. Buying an unknown self-made boiler is a bit
scary.
Sort of looks like a Ross Bendixen product on the
small side. Looks like it might be a coal burner.
Finally, the price is too high. I do love that size.
Bonne Chance,
