Steam engines are costly as well...water with lime (calcium) in it will ruin the boilers.
Another option is to capture water from a dehumidifier, it is free of minerals as is rainwater (or snow melt)...just filter it thru a coffee filter to get out any dirt.
@IndianaRog i have a quick question about a steam engine. i recently bought a post war fleischmann vertical engine without a piston or cylinder. from what i've gathered it seems to be a nimber 105? however this one does not have a whistle it just has a release valve. i was hoping that you may know where to find parts or info on this because all my efforts haven't helped. thank you for any info given
I usualy use to much cylinder oil in mine and i do when i am done to preserve the cylinder

My Jensen 25 from '97 has many leaks, from the steam regulator and sight glass. How can I fix it?
