The winter before last I finished my American Beam Steam Engine. The construction of this engine took nearly a year of time and was built in spurts over a period of three years. The casting kit for this engine is available from Historic Models LLC. This engine is a scale example of early sidewheel steamship engines built in the US. Only twofull size engines remain, neither are operational.
