Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

That’s a great project. I’ve built a pump jack from wood trick. The first one is still running after hundreds of hours and everything uses toothpicks for axels. I powered it with a 35 rpm reduction motor for continuous running. I’m building a second one painted and using better build techniques just as you are doing.
Good work!

I have beem looking at the Wood trick pump jack kit, and considering modify it to be powered with a small steam engine or my Tarot Stirling engine, it looks like a fun one to build. Thank you!
