Model launch engine
A lovely model launch steam engine
The boiler is silver soldered and has ten cross tubes
There is a displacement oiler attached to the slide valve engine.
I have tested this on compressed air and all works well as low as 5 psi.
I have not tested it under steam as I don't understand the burner system.
It has a normal spirit burner tube with a long wick and slits for the burners, but has a fuel tank that uses a tea light to heat the fuel.
Whether this is used to vaporise the fuel I don't know , as this has been used in the past in some models.
The pressure gauge has been replaced , as has the water level gauge.
Sorry but UK only due to postage weight.
