So far all your machine work looks excellent to me!!!
You are making good progress.
Thanks for the updates!
It Lives!
https://youtu.be/MOOv98nA2KIThis morning for the first time, I fired up my ME Beam Engine. I thought it sounded pretty good. Timing is close. Runs on about 12lbs of pressure and really moves at 30lb. Still lots of things to complete, such as:
- Finish governor
- Make steam inlet valve and governor butterfly valve
- Governor linkage
- Dissemble and paint engine
- Clad base in "brick" face
- Install cherry planking on top of base
Plenty to keep me busy
That is Beautiful! Can’t wait to see it after all the extra details are done. I like the looks of this one over the Stuart
Very nice workmanship nice to see it actually running!!!
Yes. Very nice runner. Well done!
I have finally completed my ME Beam Engine from Reeves Model Engineering in England. I am pleased with the final result. Along with the pictures I have uploaded a video to YouTube:

Time and effort really paid off, congratulations!
Very nice engine and that is a understatement! I love the box, its like the cherry on top (or in this case on the bottom)!
Superb work on the engine! Very clean job and the engines is running well. Going to the extra work of making a real-life setting for the engine with the brick work and hand rails greatly enhances the realism.
Beautiful, great workmanship and that base really suits it.
That you chose to include steps up to your engine's "platform" shows the level of your meticulous detailing.
This is one truly BEAUTIFUL model!!!
(still learning)
What is the purpose for the smaller, gear driven flywheel? In the prototype this intended for a power-take-off belt like on a traction engine?
