I inherited the blueprints from an estate.
I can't tell you exactly for which steam engine the regulator should be used. I think they were drawn for a replica of a Beam machine. The thing is about 2.75 meters high. I think the plans are unique.
Maybee I can still find out which machine the controller was for.

Now the engine is done! 😀

Finally, an oil vase with a valve is placed on top of the cylinder cover.
The steam engine is now complete and runs excellently with compressed air. That was a fairly small model and I think the next one will definitely be bigger.

best regards and thank you for your interest

Hello everyone,

a little more about the little steam engine.
I made myself another factory sign. I took a brass plate and applied the text with letters to scratch off.
Then etched in the liquid for electronic circuit boards.
It must not be in the liquid for too long, otherwise everything will be gone.

Greetings Michael
