This is the video of the first steam engine I have built starting from scratch, almost 18 years ago..I remember it wasn't easy putting the copper cylinders back into shape after welding. In time I have made a few modifications like piston rings for both power pistons and valves. For me it is still fun running it making lot of noise.

zturgut,
Wonderful, what took 18 years ??? To get here ???

Nice looking engine. If that were mine I'd put bigger flywheels on it? That's just me though:eek:) Thanks for sharing
 
are there available plans for this? i think i would like to try something like that for my "engine #4"

pretty darn neet, the noise is more than half of the neetness.

Thanks for your interest and kind comments.
As I have mentioned this is a machine I have built 18 years ago. Although I have not been totally apart from model engines all this time I think I have been a little clumsy about using internet. Anyway late is better than never and I'm glad to be here..

Mike, I surely didn't keep the plans of the copper thing but I guess I would sketch it again for you in an hour if it is worthed. I think your #1 and #2 were very nice single acting ones. And the third may be the beam that you wrote about. So I am not offering you a beam one. If you are interested in doble acting symmetrical 2cyl. ones with cylinderical valves like the copper thing, I can offer you some of my own later designs if you are familiar with AutoCAD dwg files you see below.
Best regards,
Zeki
