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

Thanks guys!

I can't believe I got so much paperwork on these engines!  I also believe Alcohol burns a lot cleaner than Kerosene?  I am really hoping the original works as well as the one I had on for the video.  It was really seized up with calcium and took a bit to free it up.

The Big Giant definitely has speed, though I wouldn't say it has a lot of torque.  You can see that when I release the gear from that lever and then again when I remove the band.  Though assuming the gear didn't slip, I'd image it would do 4 pounds if I also had the 3 pulley block and tackle setup.  Which is the point of that setup for its mechanical advantage.  I just can't seem to find a miniature 3 pulley block and tackle.  I'm actually surprised that I found the miniature 2 pulley block and tackle.

Here is a snap of the directions!
