My Pm Research # 1 Mill Engine

[pirmin]

Hey Guys,

i made the No. 1 Mill Engine about 1 year ago and never made a Base for it, i also run out of patience to cut down all the studs to final lenghs, so now i want to show the final result to all of you! all studs shortend, Base stained in oak colors

i might make a few more alterations on the base, maybe add some fence posts , a scale tile floor and will mount a exhaust flange in the future .


but for now i am happy with it, the way it is !


Cheers Pirmin

Looks good 

And don't forget that the most important fact is a happy builder

Looks great, studs and nuts look much nicer than the screws that usually come with PM models

yes, also the oilers in the PM Drawings are pretty much off if u want a scle looking model. i also made no use of the bronze crosshead guides, i made some of cast iron and polished the tops. i then used Easylap ultrafine for the break in procedure, the negines runs superb smooth on live steam, no leakages

Final Update :

i ordered a Investment cast steel pulley from bengs in Germany, and i must say, it realy lets the engine Pop .

Nice job.

That pulley is a great finishing touch.

Now you just need a boiler and some heat.

i have run this model on live steam twice . once it was at a live steam event in Strasshof, one of Austrias oldest Trainyards for steam locomotives. we had quite a lot of people checking in on our stand . the machine ran 5 hrs straight with no problems.
