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

I have one of these or one  looks just like it. Have spring belt and connectors I ordered from McMaster Carr. I have a small stepper motor that I知 going to convert to generator. If it ever gets here.I値l probably have to make a pulley or new flywheel. To drive it. Maybe even a gear box depending on how much power it takes to drive it. My boiler is takinfore. Ever to build because of weather and holidays. I have the end cap nd bulkhead material  the boiler tube itself is still on the way. I just ordered anode rod so another piece to add to the box of parts. I値l order new tap and die for the port threads tomorrow.I wanted all NPT threads but the engine has ME threads so I値l have some of those now too. I致e got a fttting distribution manifold laid out. Since I知 going with electric heat I have one heater with another use tomorrow. Kay use oth but I have to check my home circuits to make sure they can handle them. I can use two separate circuits I suppose. That means. A cord on ghe fflloor that I really don稚 wa.lsohave a temporary mounting board but have another planned. It will take wood working skills for that but I can do that. This is like building a giant scale. Model rc airplane. There are so many loose ends to connect.
