There's also a bit of Luton Bowman influence in it, as well. Call it a SEL-LUTE. Wink
Lots more to do on it, but here she is so far. It's mounted on a plank for test running.

A Rough Draft


Another view showing the bronze, 2 1/2" flywheel I bought from Tiny Power.


Rear view showing steam pipe connections and screw inserted as a plug in rear end cap.
A stud to which a chimney will be mounted will be soldered in here.

Yup, gotta make a burner for it, too.

Chuck.

what a super little engine.

In this photo


You say you are going to use a stud for a chimney?.

On both my engines, I soldered a nut to the endcap, and secured the chimney with a bolt cut to just the correct length, so it nipped the chimney as the end touched the endcap, I found it was a neater job.
