For Sale is my second Quarter Scale Steam Donkey with a steam pump that I built last summer. Scale Model Steam Donkey. Weighing around 550 lbs. and measuring 57" high x 24" wide x 8 1/2 feet long. Cast iron castings include two engines and cross slides. Also included are two 6-inch diameter by 3/4-inch steel crank disks, bronze eccentric, cast iron piston and rings, and all moving parts for the engines. The two engines run on 25 lbs. of steam or air pressure. The bore is 1.75 inches with a 2-inch stroke. It also features a 10" x 26" boiler that is 3/8-inch thick with a injector, mechanical oiler for both engines, a pop off valve set at 100 lbs. and two 9-inch spool drums with oak clutches, braking system and ratchet-and-pawl.
Thats epic

very cool....I dont know much about these ....just started researching them .... I notice the RPMs sort of speed up then slow down every 10 or 20 seconds.... is this normal ? is it cause of some sort of Steam bleed off or something ???
Props to You for doing such a Beautiful resto !!!
