Actually I did steam some milk - before attaching it to the engine. And it worked well. But I prefer it as a boiler for teh steam engine :-)

Ey mate just out of interest, did you steam any milk with the steamer, and was it any good? haha sorry, nice machine by the way.

The timing is just a little off, but thats OK I usually like my engines to run better in one direction than the other.

[ijerry1]

I agree - thgough it could just be the valve position - perhaps I haven't got it quite right yet - but it certainly prefers one direction over the other.

It is odd how so often model steam engines run better in one direction than in the other?

[ijerry1]

Thanks Amber - yes as soon as I can make a compact boiler I reckon a boat or vehicle might be the way to go :-) In the meantime it is a great stationary engine!

Nice little engine! I like your steam boiler! LOL

Now you just need to put the engine in something like a boat.

Heheh - yes I suppose it does look a bit that way. The pegs are just to keep the steam hoses connected rather than valves as such :-)

Wonderfully Heath Robinson - I love the peg valves ;-)
