After many months of other projects, I got the bug to build another steam engine.
This casting kit came from Myers Engine Works.
Their kits aren't the best in the world, but they're relatively inexpensive for the size of the engines. In fact, the casting I'm starting with doesn't fully match the prints, so the plans are more like guides than requiring strict adherence.
Anyways, I'll be posting pictures as I go along and build this thing.
A note: My lathe has a 12" swing and I needed every bit of that swing for the way I machined the main frame shown below.
