Thomas Travis #4 engine 2X Size completed
« on: May 20, 2019, 10:10:22 PM »
Thomas Travis ( Ye-Ole Steam Dude ) designed engine. Number 4 in his series, that I built double size.









I'll post a video of the engine running in a day or so.

Exceptional work and the finish, what can I say! You've outdone yourself on this one Brian. We have to get together so I can see it.

A video of the engine running. Starting air pressure less than two pounds per square inch ramped up to ten, then back down.

Hello Brian,

Congratulations on a fine running Steam Engine   :praise2: :praise2: :praise2:.

The low RPM is a beautiful thing to watch and confirms how precision you made each part. :whoohoo:

Love your new Avatar.....

Have a great day,
Thomas
