I'm new to the forum and am glad to get connected to the group.
I have acquired two Stuart Beam engines.
One appears to be a complete kit from a friend and in excellent shape.
The other is quite rusted and incomplete as far as parts go to complete it.
The clean up is going well and I'm learning a lot about the assembly of these kits, and early steam engine technology.
I live in Wheaton Md (Right on the boundary to DC) and sort of retired (LoL).
I also belong to the Tuckahoe Steam and Gas where I volunteer in the Machine Shop Museum.
Great place to learn about machining operations.
I'm sure I will be looking for assistance and guidance as I pursue my new toys and look forward to making new friends in the hobby.
