What's next? That would be a model of the two cylinder compound Paine engine in the steam passenger ferry Sabino. Ron Ginger got us in to Mystic Seaport Museum to measure the original one this past fall, its all drawn up in Fusion and ready to go. But first, I want to do a wood carving project and another RC model, they've been waiting on the bench for me to finish the Holly. Chris

I was a Voluntee Engineer on the boat with this engine, ( 75 HP Paine Compound) and it will be nice to see her run again.Dave

ChrisHi Chris, Will you post about the Carving project and the RC model?Gerald.
Chris, this has been a blast to watch from the peanut gallery. One last sugestion....I think one of the suit guys should go by the gauge board. I have seen old photos of ships engineers very smartly dressed in uniform at the operating stand. My guess is even stationary engineers used to look more business like than a common laborer at least on photo days.Now when I was working we looked like a band of ruffians in well used work clothes and that was on a good day.Cheers Dan

I'll pick the one with the puzzled look on his face.
This picture better shows the external stairs and catwalks that are between the engines - they go up to all three levels of the engine platforms. One set of stairs serves two engines.

One thing I missed in this is where the rods for the pumps are connected. Eccentric hidden away?
