Woe's Buckman from "1895" Steaming Again, the Long Version.
« on: February 21, 2021, 03:51:08 pm »
This is my Buckman "1895", my oldest steamer in my collection so I made this my longest video.
There are some pics to start, so kick back, grab a snack, and I hope you don't get too bored,
just enjoy.

Sure is a neat engine Tom!

Love it running slowly on low gas at the end  :)

(Is it one of Bruce´s burners you have under there btw.?)

What a lovely old steam engine and what a beautiful ornate flywheel.

Yes it is Jan, I bought one valve and copper line and two burners, short and long.

Probably my favorite engine that you have shown us over the years. Still not sure that it’s a Buckman, but it’s definitely old and built well  8)

I know what you mean about the ID of it. That was the name and year the seller used on it. The boiler looks
like Weeden style, even more sparse. No site glass, no overfill hole. The shroud has two large openings
toward each end to let heat out. Two smaller openings in the middle. The steam line comes up to the safety
valve/steam valve. The other just has a solid brass piece that threads in the top, filler plug. Blued shroud
brass bands, and four legs. I doubt that it was a kit. The frame work and beam are iron, maybe pig iron.
I have been looking for years and have never saw another one. I should post it on Ebay, BIN $5,000,000.00 with
free shipping. Maybe some one will tell me (the seller) what it is and that he's nuts. ::)
