Reeves 'The Mary' beam engine.
« on: March 08, 2019, 11:46:21 am »
This is my build of The Mary beam engine. The castings were from Reeves in the U.K. I think beam engines are most elegant especially when they're running slow.
Talent unshared is talent wasted.

Very elegant engine. I haven't seen this kind of parallel motion connection before. Could you please share some close-up pictures?

Very nice and running as it should .
I have just about  finished construction of a Stuart Beam that had been prestarted and butchered .
This caused a few headaches .
