Lone Star Engine Works Announcement

Lone Star Engine Works Announcement:

Some changes have been made to the product line at Lone Star Engine Works.
This fall, We have sold the designs for the Baker Monitor, the Quincy Farm
Engine, and the Aermotor Windmill engine and Water Pump to MiniSteam. Kits
for these products will no longer be sold by Lone Star Engine Works, but
will be available through them.

That is not to say that if someone has bought a kit from me and needs help I won't
be there. I believe there a lot of my kits under the benches of builders, so
if you have one and need a question answered, send me an email.

There are additional changes.
1) The Forest marine engine built from a 1888 Patent by Ferdnand Forest and
George Gallice will soon be available as a kit. This is a 4 cylinder spark
ignition engine with some very unique and interesting features. Keep an eye
on my web site for details. If you can't wait, feel free to send an email.

2) Lone Star Engine Works has purchased three engine designs from Dennis Howe
at Historic Model design and Reproductions. I am happy to announce I will have
the Large Gothic Beam steam engine, the smaller version of the same Gothic beam
Steam engine, and the Joys Valve steam engine. These will be available in the
first half of 2015, I expect to have something available during the Cabin Fever
and NAMES shows. Please contact me if you have questions.

3) At some time in the future there will be a kit for the Gould "Challenge" water
pump to accompany your model of the Pacific gas engine. It actually could be used
with other engines as well. More details later.

Thanks for your support over the years.

Maury: Any idea when Ministeam will be offering the Baker Monitor for sale? That was going to be my Christmas present to myself. Will they hold to the superb quality standards you are know for?
Thanks Roger

Rebush, thanks for the interest in the Monitor. It is one of my favorite hit miss engines with it's elegant lines.

I have had some contact with Doug over at Ministeam, and he is sorting out the trailer load of stuff he picked up. I can't speak for when he will have kits available, so perhaps you should send him an email.

Good luck with the new engines Maury.

Having made a 1/3rd scale Gallaway from the Ministeam castings The iron ones were all very good, just a couple of small flaws in the non ferrious but nothing I could not work around.

Haveing recently done a monitor (not lonestar) they do make a nice engine and a few machining challenges along the way as the horizontals do all become much the same when you have done a few.
