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

Have had this for years here, but never got around to run it.

The other day i took it apart, and let the thick papergaskets in the loose boilerends soak in some lightoil, to get them swollen enough to hold steam.
The only other thing wrong with it, was that it needed a trunnion spring, and a new nut to keep it all together, and it was good to go.
As it came with no burner (or at least i can´t see how it should be used, the bent tintray accompanying it here), i just took one from a little Märklin, as that sort of fitted under there.

That's a unique little guy , runs really well . thanks for popping a quick video of it for us Jan.

Well that is certainly different and unusual

Cheers

Neat little engine Jan, new one to me 

Today a sibling moved in as well

Only "fancy" feature, besides the missing sightglass, is a draincock at the rear end:

Also, in the meantime i found out that these was indeed sold as an educational kit engine.

Unfortunately no manufacturer known Tommy.
Only piece of paper i´ve seen mentioning these, is an instruction manual for the horisontal.
It has the name "E. Bühler, Stuttgart" at the bottom, but that is believed to be a retailer as far as i am informed.

...and yes, if you´re thinking about the one listed with a few accessories as well, it is the one from last month.

Sorry, completely forgot that... 

No this is not the one you think of, i decided to let that one slip.

This is what the lot this was in looked like:

Do you have any photos of a complete engine? It would be nice to look into recreating the sight glass that has obviously been soldered off on that one, as long as you have to pull the end caps off the boiler to re-gasket anyway.

Don't believe I've ever seen a staybolted together boiler such as that before!?!?
