Model Working Stationary Steam Engines - Scratch built by Paul.

About the Modeller:   My better half  began modelling 6 years ago and is an absolute amateur machinist, who never even looked at a lathe before buying one, and is learning as he goes, by trial and error.  Loves his shed and workshop and is thoroughly enjoying his hobby.   And, in his own words, it keeps him off the streets !!  

All models do as required - smoothly without vibration - converting steam or air pressure into circular motion. It was this circular motion that enabled the Industrial Revolution c.1850.  The engines are not built to any sort of scale.  Thanks for looking!
