Variations on an Elmer Theme

[gimbal]

Hi All,

First post - after a couple of slack years, I finally completed my second engine. Inspired by Elmer, it is my interpretation of the Mine Engine.

Now I just have to build a boiler etc!

Great job :bow: So does this mean we get to watch a boiler getting built? I for one would enjoy a "work in progress"

Yeah I like 'motion'...otherwise an engine is 'mechanical art' or just a lump of metal.
(I like mechanical art too - and this would fit the bill.)

Thanks for showing it.

Looks like the top and bottom are started on a Vertical Flue type... or is that copper for something else?

You are correct the copper is for a 3" vertical boiler.
