After 50+ years of slumber, the Stationary Steam Engine that drove the Shops of the East Broad Top Railroad is brought back to life with compressed air. Viewed from atop the Boilers.

  • That is very cool! I hope a suitable boiler can be found in the near future, but in the meantime, couldn't it be run off of a locomotive as a temporary measure?

  • Not recommended, at least until part of the line shaft system is resored and connected to "load" the engine. Running on steam without a load could damage the engine. With compressed air, it doesn't develop anywhere near its full horsepower, desirable since it's only driving the flywheel.

  • I totally agree. I was mistakenly under the impression that it was currently possible to put a load on it.

  • If someone would donate a boiler, we would be in business, DaveR
