When I purchased this Stuart 4, although running on air. it had been cannibalised. The bottom cylinder cover & steam gland were missing, steam valve altered and piston rod incorrect length, plus a large blow hole in main cylinder casting on the steam chest side. It had been made to run single acting. I remade all the missing bits and corrected the steam valve etc so it worked properly ie double acting. Fitted a mechanical lubricator, axle feed pump plus gravity fed A frame lubricator. It is powered by a 5" coal fired boiler with 50 fire tubes & superheater, running at 75psi. The steam and water pipes shown in video are only odd pieces of pipe I quickly joined together to give the engine a run.
