I am building a model marine engine from plans in a book called "Working Steam Engines" by Rudy Kouhoupt. I've been working on it since probably last spring or summer and I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Too many things compete for my time and I've only been able to work on it an evening or two a week maybe and a Sunday or two. Sometimes, when I get to this point in a project, I get anxious to see it run! The brass cylinder block is 1" x 1" x 2.5", it has 5/8" bore and 5/8" stroke. I need to finish the crosshead guides and make the flywheel look prettier. Then I need the pistons, slide valves, steam chest covers, intake manifold and a couple other parts. So, here are some photos to show off what I have been doing. - Dave
