This kit includes the following items to produce the Steam Engine as pictured:
Engine:
- 1 x cast whitemetal base
- 1 x cast whitemetal flywheel
- 1 x cast whitemetal drive wheel
- 1 x cast whitemetal cylinder & slide
- 1 x cast steam cock and governor
- 1 x cast steam valve
- 1 x length of wire for piping
- 1 x cast resin 'brick' base
- comprehensive instructions
Scale notes: Flywheel measures approx. 16mm in diameter:
- 2' 6" in O scale
- 4' 6" in HO Scale
NOTE: It is a static model, not 'live steam'. Assemble with either low-melt solder & flux or 'gel' type superglue. (The cast-in drive shaft could be removed and replaced with a brass axle so the flywheel and drive pulley can rotate. They could then be driven by a small electic motor, as in our Dynamo Kit).
