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

Philip, that is a sweet runner.  I have same one but have only run it on air.  Yours is a keeper for sure.

Thanks Rog, it is a beautiful runner. You ought to get some steam through yours, the smell of steam, oil and hot iron is fantastic!. If you are worried about corrosion, I always suck a bit of steam oil in the cylinder whilst it is still hot to displace any remaining water through the drains.

I must admit I can see the attraction of those MSM engines with them being all bronze, certainly for regular steam use.
