Very nice engine. Especially for a first build. Thanks for sharing.
 
Hi,

Beautifully done! I like it very much.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback.
I confess that I had several attempts (and spoiled materials) to finish this engine.

Hi,

If you ain't made a few paperweights, you ain't made much for parts. Besides, I always learn the most from my mistakes. (You would think I should be a genius by now:eek::D).

Very Nice,

A simple design elegantly and cleanly done.

What's next?

Point of curiosity: What is the name of this engine on John-Tom. I think I want to find the plans myself.

Thank you.

I don't know. Maybe "Cracker" loco. But not sure.

"Single Cylinder Vertical Steam Engine", on the page "steam engine plans 3" (John-Tom site )

Engine looks and runs great - nice job! Thanks for the directions to the plans as well. I've been thinking about building a similar engine from castings but couldn't afford the castings - this looks like a perfect substitute, maybe I can even cast a few bits for it myself.
 
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Andrew in Melbourne
