Steam Engine

I've finally finished (except for the pipes) my Stuart D10 steam engine. No one was more surprised than me when it ran first time, I thought it felt a little stiff but it was real happy running on 25 psi. I've had it up to 40 psi and it goes like a fiend. I'm one very happy puppy :o)

This picture shows the parts of the steam engine kit as you get them, a truck load of castings and things.


The cylinders, standards, foot plate and bed box completed (almost).


Just another view.

The completed steam engine (excluding piping).
A wee bit of a close up.

The engine running.

This was my first complex project, started before I'd gained much skill. I was so pleased when it ran first time.
