Gary Brooke:
Have the need to build a new engine.Don't know which way to go try something to my own design or to plans. Must be steam,look nice,be able to be made from barstock, and be a challenge to make. Suggestions would be appreciated.

b.lindsey:
Gary,  any idea as to the size engine you are looking to make?  There are always Elmer's plans for smaller scale engines or for something a bit larger you may give a look at Ray Hasbrouck's engines....http://hasbrouck.8m.com/

Hi Gary,

There are heaps of great engines in the forums' plan section. There are quite a few from Julius de Waal that are worth a close look at. Really well drawn as well.

I don't know your capabilities but the MEM Corliss is definitely worth a look.

The size I'm looking for is something that will fit on a 3.5" lathe and a small vertical slide. Had a look on the internet and am leaning to something with fancy columns .
Thayer
Had a look at MEM Corliss its on the list as a possibility. But would like something a little differant, as there are a lot more talented people building it.
So I will keep on looking I'm sure somebody will come up with the perfect engine.
