The castings for this little horizontal steam engine were bequeathed to me from the estate of my late uncle. In memory of Len, I will be making the engine as a display piece but it will be a fully functional steam engine.
In this episode:
Machining the base casting
Machining the engine frame including the cylinder face, the crosshead bore, the bearing housings and the mounting holes
Trial assembly of the base and engine frame castings
Plus, some bonus clips of some orphaned animals being cared for by Wilvos, a charity I support through the income from this channel.
