    Steam Engine Factory Layout

    Yes this is a cad pic I got off the internet. Are there any engines similar to this one out there. Or again does anyone know of anyone who has built this engine. If not I have started it and would appreciate any input on the build. Here is one side of the cylinder partly done.
