th_confused0052 My God......This is mind boggling for me.
I haven't started a first build yet, and will probably be embarrassed when I show up with some cheesy oscillating steamer.
This is a truly amazing piece of work! Can't wait to hear this thing run.

Ok thanks guy. I know its an m5 i just don't have a thread pitch gauge to check it but ill get one when i get the chance. If i can't get the right size ( considering I'm in Canada) ill try skylines idea.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers, Jordan.
Boiler seems alright. A little oxydized from having water left in it I assume but seems fine. The piston and crank move nice and smooth too. I just need to figure out something for a fill cap. Any ideas?
Cool thanks for helping me find out what it was.
I'm not really after the value of it anyway, but I am going to try and match the original colour. And possibly paint a label back on to it. I want to use it, but I don't want it to rust any more than it has already. So I don't think its a big...

My names Jordan, I'm a small engine mechanic. I haven't built any model engines but I would like too. I just picked up my first model steam engine at a flea market for 20 bucks. Thinking of blasting it and painting it. Its pretty beat up...
Amazing work! Looks like a lot of time went into that!
How much is a harbour freight lathe and mill if you don't mind me asking? I'm a small engine mechanic with a lot of interest in building a steamer of my own, but don't have the tools or a lot of extra cash laying around. Most of my money...
