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

I bought this kit off of eBay last year. I was bored yesterday and decided to put it together. It is a really well made kit, easy to put together and no glue required.

After putting it together, I decided to see if I could get it to run as a steam accessory. After a number of failed attempts, I came up with a workable design and created a diorama. My score engine already had a belt pulley on it and it fit the old plinth I had in my cabinet.

After running it a few times (my wife actually showed a tiny bit of interest in it), I decided to film the video.

I plan on keeping it assembled this way for future shows. But, I do need to finally finish the pipe work on the Stuart Score.

That is very cool Charlie, i really need to get a water pump accessory for my own collection.

 

Neat setup Charlie, hopefully future shows make a comeback soon!

Hi Charlie, A great set-up and a very nice video!


Is that machine pumping ink? or grape juice?


Gil

Cool! It looks like you are pumping oil. Very appropriate for Texas!

Thanks Doug. Pumps a little slower than the Stuart Pump you built. 🤠

I like this model, Charlie. It looks like it pumps well, it is attractive, and looks really sharp teamed up with your Score. Thanks for the video!

Ps- pretty awesome the wifey shows interest. Perhaps it might be time to get her into the hobby?

Thanks Benny.

I am going to clean up the plinth and then reassemble.

Another project to combat COVID-19 Isolation. 🤠

It does pump well Charlie, I quite like that.

Thank you Bruce.

I am sure it will be a hit at the shows with the kids.

Of course, I was inspired by your many kit bashes. 🤠

I liked this Water Pumpin Engine so much I bought a second kit and posted the video here:
