 A great little engine - boiler combination Feb 12, 2006
By C. Calvin
This little oscillating steam engine and boiler combination may seem a bit pricey. The parts are basically stock materials but they are machined precisely and assemble without trouble. Only simple hand tools are required. The boiler requires soldering with a torch. The instructions are complete and throrough.
The boiler uses Sterno for fuel, heats quickly, and is relatively reliable.
While not as pretty as some, it may be just the ticket for someone without access to a machine shop and a tenth the price. I have had mine for 11 years.

Nice Model Steam Engine Nov 23, 2009
By Mr. Kenley C. Vogt
"kcventures"
I love this model steam engine - I am not using it for a marine engine but rather for a stationary engine to drive some toy steam accessories - I had to modify the flywheel but its working okay. It would be nice in a ship or boat model but I am not a good wood craftsman.

Highly recommended!

 V1 Steam Engine Aug 12, 2011
By buddog
This kit is not for beginners. You will need to get a hobbysize butane tourch to put the boiler together and small dia solder. The casting the cylinder is to mate to is not machined so the steam just pours ou every where. No pressure relife valve on the boiler. The casting and piston mateing part have to be resurfaced for a perfect fit. I have had years of experince in precision parts so that I did get the motor running but not to the point it could be used for anything

Takes allot of patience to build and the know how of sodering metals together. Also brass dents easily and is very soft so be careful
