Stuart Beam engine ready for show

[Orrin]

When it was too hot for comfort outdoors this summer I'd retreat to my basement shop and work on my latest project, a Stuart Beam engine. It is still a work in progress because I have to add the governor kit, some day, and make some oil cups for it.

I chose my colors so that they wouldn’t duplicate what I already have, mostly red and green. I didn’t want to use that combination, again. An acquaintance of mine, Neal James, painted one of his IC engines, a Monitor, all white and pinstriped it in gold. It is so striking that I thought I’d give it a try. I save all pictures I get of beam engines and I’ve never seen red and white, before, so that cinched the deal.

I'll be showing this one at GEARS later this month.

Oooooh Yes! With those colours it's easy to picture it working in a brewery or cheese factory. Great job!

Very nice, I have been looking into beam engines I think this one has me sold.

The color combo and the links set it off.

Orrin, as I stated in another forum, that is one beautiful build. The finish and the paint scheme are top shelf. It certainly gives me ideas for my next paint job.
