STBEAM says thank you

[STBEAM]

I have been collecting and restoring Mamod engines since I was a child.  I have just bought my first Stuart Turner which is a beam engine.  It is in need of parts but came without any documents etc to help me select the correct very expensive fixtures and fittings.  Any assistance would be welcomed, if I can contribute I will to the extent of my limited knwoeldge and experience.

Welcome to the Forum   

Steam is not my speciality however there are plenty of members who can help you with your beam engine.

Welcome to the group! Should be people here who can help you out with the engine. Can you post some pictures of what you have?

Welcome

You do not say where you are. Stuart (now without the Turner) is still very much in business and will happily supply replacement castings, drawings etc. Their web site is https://www.stuartmodels.com/

I think you should first buy the drawings which will set you back by about £27 in the UK. With these you can start to understand what you have got.

Pictures are always appreciated.

Thank you all for the welcome.  I am in the UK, Stuarts offer of £5.50 for posting based on weight the £22 set of drawings seemed a bit steep.   See pics requested below / attached. There is a stamed / cast mark of 80063 across the base behind the steam chest.    Is it possible to thank / acknowledge a post on here?   

[STBEAM]

Sorry about the picture orientation,  much to learn I guess about posting.

[crueby]

You had mention it was in need of parts, but it looks c9mplete, other than a fitting to attach an air or steam line.

[CI]

That is a great looking engine.
Any idea about which parts you may need ?

@crueby @CI, thank you, it is a lovely runner on air, yes I need the connection for both a steam line and exhaust, I would like an in line oiler, a small pressure gauge c/w Tee piece and I ask the question do I need the steam cocks where the two plugs are shown on the cylinder?  Any dimmensions of these fittings and possible supliers would be welcomed.  Does the number indicate a possible age or just a part number?   My guess from the Dymo label is that it might be a school / college aid to learning.
Can I give thanks / acknowledgeent on this site??

[crueby]

For sources of parts, what country are you in?

@crueby  I am in the UK and can buy from Stuarts, however without drawings / advice I do not know which parts to pick from the lists.  They have not been overly helpful "check our website"   Are all Stuart engines built the same re thread sizes TPI etc?  If anyone has info I would be grateful.   Do I just pay their prices?  Are there any alternatives?  Advice is welcomed.
