Simplex , a vertical steam engine

[Xldevil]

Hello.
This is my latest engine build.
A vertical single cylinder slide valve engine made from castings.
Although it is far from perfect, I am very happy about the final result.

Thank you all for your kind words regarding my work.

It means really a lot to me to get such appreciation from highly skilled
model engineers like most of you are.

This is a very attractive engine, with elegant proportions, and runs very nicely, lovely finish on the model .  Makes a change to see a vertical engine that is a bit different from the usual familiar ones.  Dave

You've built a very nice machine there! And she's doing fine.
Did you use castings and use a blueprint?

Thank you for your kindness.

I used castings and bar stock as well.
