Dear All
This is my first attempt at making an engine from castings and only my second steam engine. It runs (just) with me blowing into it and easily on a little compressor.
I modified the kit a little as it is imperial and all my taps etc are metric. I didn't take any WIP images. I must start doing that.
I'm quite pleased with it considering I'm very new at using a mill and lathe.
I just need to mount it on a base. Not sure whether I should paint the cylinder or leave it bare.
