• 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.
