Gil well we are kiwis and we can do we believe in the old number 8 wire concept Now that I know it will run on such a little boiler I can work on it's own boiler To be honest i thought it would run then die very quick but got it started and thought damn ! the camera is in side  so left it running while got camera ready to video it   and it was still running when I stopped taping metalhead100 Engine of the Month folks..... That runs very very sweet! You should be proud of that one,great job! Gonna kit em?.....................please???????? Jim scorpion2nz no kits as i do not have the patience and my skills are not good enough but I had thought of taking the side plates in to town and getting them laser cut in Stainless Steel for a bit of shine  but i know what my other half will say  and it is not repeatable here xlchainsaw a terrific result! was the saftey valve stuck??? it looked a bit more than 20psi???????   Ross wonderful great job scorpion2nz safety valve was not stuck  as I checked it before i started and it did release before  I started engine Les It looks and sounds wonderful. Bugsy Great job! Alf Very nice   Sandman WOW. How did I miss this one?? Excellent machine and runs a treat too, Great stuff. Steve_S That's excellent! And it sounds good too! igy569 Very Kewl!! steamgranny That is a very fine beam & to see & hear it finally in steam is even better! Also nice to know it won’t need a gigantic boiler – well done brave little MM2!   Graham-Jilly excellent running engine well done davidsteam Re: Beam Engine now on Steam Nice work, are there any 'proper' drawings or did you build it from the magazine article? scorpion2nz I down loaded the plans from here http://www.john-tom.com/html/SteamPlans3.html some of the measurements are there and some had to be deduced I also had to alter how the cylinder is held together  as at the time i did not have small enough tap and dies but now have purchased a  0 to 10 BA set   which is also why it is mainly held together with 5/32 BSW bolts if any body is going to try it and need help just PM me        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Videos Page 1 of 1
