Engines > Restoration of Model Engines
The number 173.
Michael S.:
Hello,
I would like to tell you about a model steam engine that I restored two years ago. When I bought it, it wasn't finished yet. The first builder may have started building the model between 1920-1930. It is a model from the 1925 Wilhelm Bischoff catalog from Dresden - Germany. It is called number 173 with a 30 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. There are still some parts missing and there are also some bugs on the machine.
I disassembled it and we're good to go.

The old part you got here looks to be good shape for their age :ThumbsUp:
So I guess that it is mostly a question of making the missing bits + testing that the Old parts are made to the correct measurements ...?
Will follow this with interest :cheers:

Since all parts were individual, the base was measured and a wooden model was built. A friend from university made a cast in aluminum.
I would like to rebuild the model again later.
