Stuart steam engine 5a Stuart Turner model live steam

[Clifforddward]

I noticed you have both a displacement lubricator and mechanical lubricator on this engine...Are both available to supply steam oil, and if so which have you found better to use (I am building a 5A myself and am considering my lubrication options. Best Regards, Cliff

whats the boxy thing on the left of the frame?

[DAKOTA56777]

The "boxy" thing is a mechanical lubricator.

[Axbent]

@DAKOTA56777 thanks! I have since figured it out myselft, but none the less thanks. Nice little steam plant that!

[DAKOTA56777]

[Basset669]

Thanks for comment.

[eatmypies]

you crafty sod,ive only just noticed,is that a little mamod or willesco driving your water feed pump there

[Basset669]

Stuart boiler feed pump is bolted to and run from 5A.

Water recycling into reservoir is adjusted by  valve.

No Mamod or Willesco owned or used. Nothing crafty here.

[eatmypies]

thats lovely would you consider making a u tube step by step download on how to build a basic engine for all the novices out here

[Basset669]

Stuarts supply books on how to make their engines.

[partsproduction]

@Basset669 I just looked at the on line catalog and see no 5A, where do I find the castings for sale?

[krimskrams]

what's the boiler made of?

[Basset669]

8 gauge copper

[Basset669]

Thanks for comment

[jamespetts2]

This is very lovely - you have some excellent things! I see that you have tried the same trick with the brass pipe and the hand pump as I have. Are these all from eBay?

[Basset669]

Thanks.

The majority of the "accessories" I have bought are from model engineering shops either via eBay, on line or at model engineering shows that I have been to. Hope this helps?

[19881989tonow]

very very nice engine and boiler plant set up, the mechanical lubricator is it a rachet and spring style, if so please may i ask where you baught it if you didnt make it. thanks.

[Basset669]

Thanks for message. Yes it is a rachet and spring type Lubricator and they are sold in, I would think, the majority of model engineering shops/stockists. You should find the stockists advertised in all the Model Engineering magazines. Hope this helps?

[Basset669]

Thanks.

Although boiler running at 60psi, steam valve is only open very slightly. I can only open steam valve a touch more as the speed of the engine makes it virtually jump off of the table. At the end of steaming with fire nearly out and only 5psi showing on pressure gauge the 5a is still turning over very slowly and smoothly.

That's a beautiful engine!
