I previously posted two videos of the DaVinci Series Model Drum and of the Water Pumping Engine Kits sold by Academy Model Hobby Kits (Korea) which I converted to steam accessories.

I mounted both of them on a plinth with my Stuart Score Engine to make a display for future Steam Shows. 

I also finished the piping for the Stuart Score and added a PM Research Oiler.

It is running on ~5 psi.

Got to give those engines something to do.
Are those kits plastic ?
It would be possible to use the Beam parts as former and cast metal ones ??

Agreed Dennis. 

The Score is definitely up to the task.

The kits are plastic.

I have never done castings, but the plastic is pretty durable (better than the old car and airplane models I worked on in the late 60s and early 70s).

Thanks Nick!

These would be great kits for your boys to assemble for a cold winter activity.

Can't wait to see the new one  ;)  I'll try and get the video of mine tonight that fits in with these... It's a tiny plastic marble run that fits in your hand but works really well.
