Stuart Family Portrait
« on: June 20, 2020, 06:24:39 pm »
I took a few pictures today of my Stuart Engine Collection.

One got left out of the first two pictures.

An interesting collection .
They seem to have a bad habit of multiplying wherever the first one lands

That is a nice collection of heavy metal there!

I’ve yet to add any of the larger Stuart’s to my own collection.

Thanks Bruce.

I had them out for a dusting and oiling. I ran them all on air after oiling them.

My collecting focus has changed and I doubt I will add any others.....unless I find a smoking good deal on a Stuart Beam Engine. 🤠

Happy Father’s Day.

Yes they do Dennis. I haven’t bought any new ones in a few years.

The No. 4 came from Gil.

The BB came from Nick.

The No. 1 came from a member of the other forum and was purchased in the 1980s from the London Steam Shop “Steam Age”.  I am the second owner.

My Score is not in the picture as it is now mounted on a plinth with the two Academy Model Hobby Kits.

I also have two Stuart Boilers that live on a high shelf and I didn’t get them down.

Thanks SF.

The No. 1, No. 8 and No. 9 will run on ~10 psi. The rest will run on a small aquarium pump at ~3 psi.

Charlie, your Stuarts make a great family portrait...!!!




That nice reversing 4 is actually a 7A which is a great size for that design.

I am trying to have some discipline Nick!  ???

Those are all great engines.

Hopefully, I still have a lot of years of collecting left....so, you never know what will pop up.
