I just received some steam engine parts that I bought on eBay. It is incomplete, and missing plans. The cylinder that came with it is significantly larger than the piston itself and probably went to another engine. The frame is soft soldered together and had come loose during shipping so I will have to secure it. There is a bit of a bind in the crosshead at the top of the stroke. Otherwise it should be a fairly simple build. I think that I will use a simple piston type valve rather than making a steam chest with slide valve.
