Just a collection of assorted steam engines to have a look at and possibly generate comment.

Some are common off the shelf items but some are much rarer. The twin opposed cylinder four cylinder engine was built from plans given away in a model engineering magazine in the early sixties. I even managed to get hold of back issues with the plans in to go with it.

The strange looking green single cyinder oscilator was made by me in a ships workshop from bits of scrap I found around the place. It was never going to win any prizes but it still gives me a smile to see it running.
