MSM Echuca
« on: October 28, 2019, 05:45:20 am »
After selling a few more engines recently i had enough funds to buy my third engine from MSM which will keep my Pevensey company.
I think the reversing gear is very attractive on both engines as i've never been a big fan of the bent rod styles seen on other engines.

I hope to post some more photos and do a video once i have mounted it on a more permanent base.

That looks like a great engine - MSM make some really nice engines at a reasonable price.

Bonjour,
Nice machine indeed but I confess that I have a preference for the original Stuart steam machines, even if they can rust so therefore asks more maintenance  ;)

Bonjour,
I note that the exhaust pipe seems to have the diameter of the input one, it could have one more millimeter to further a little the yield of the machine.

Nice looking engine Philip. Second pulley makes it look complete. I agree the reversing gear is much more attractive than the bent rod style.

I believe MSM use lost wax castings for a lot of the parts Gil, they are great quality especially for the money.

Rog, it does purr along very nicely and has got some power.
