My work for Monday. The upper governor flange. 3 threaded 0-80 in a 3/16” grove. It is 5/8” diameter. The spur has a 1-1/2 degree angle machined in. It still has a couple more operations to go. But. I will work on the bottom one first.

The next part I am working on is a collar that will go on the governor spindle. Drill and ream a piece of steel to an ID of 1/8” OD 7/32” and 1/8” long. Drill the collar for a set screw size”N”. I go to the screw chart and it specifies a 00-90 or a BA12 grub screw. 3/32” long. I can not find...

It has a 9” flywheel and is 15” long. It is a beautiful model. To bad the molds have been lost to time. Tim

The flats have been machined on the spindle. I now have 3 parts done. 85 more to go and then I can start on the engine.

The model went out of production in the early nineties. It took me awhile to find these castings. I have wanted to build this engine for 40 years. Tim

The bushings have been machined and installed with a press fit. 1/32”x1/16”x1/8” and a 1/32”x1/16”x1/4”. Tim

I decided to do the governor first. With 88 parts it is a project in itself. I will be using 1144 stress proof steel, 360 brass and 932 also known as SAE 660 bearing bronze for the construction. I will be using American National Standard threads for the fasteners. The first part is the...

I have used 1144 dress proof steel in the past and really like the way in machines. So I decided to use it on this build. I ordered some different sizes from McMaster Carr in 3 foot lengths. It should be here Wednesday. 1144 is a medium carbon, resulphurized steel with good free-machining...

I purchase the small amount of metal I need from McMaster Carr. I have always received what I ordered. If I need a large quantity of metal I get it though my Son’s business. Tim Meyer

You are getting close. Tim

Have you been able to look at the drawings? Tim

I have decided to build the scale governor first. It has 61 line items with a total of 88 individual parts. It is a project just in itself. I will post the drawings once I have them scanned. Tim

Hi I just received an early Christmas present. A set of castings and drawings for the Saturated Steam 2” scale Tangye. I have been wanting to build this engine for 40 years. I finally found a set of castings on a top shelf. Now to figure out where to start. Any input? Tim

Hi Scott I have one person looking at the drawings to decide if he what’s the castings. Send me your email address by private message and I will forward the drawings to you to look at. Tim

I have 2 sets of castings for the Saturation Steam 1” scale Tangye. So I have decided to sell one set. I have scans of the drawings so I can send them to you to see if you want to build the engine. I would like to get $400 for one set of castings. Tim

I am looking for the drawings to the 2” scale Tangye steam engine that was available from Saturated Steam. I would also be interested in a set of castings. I have the drawings and two sets of castings for the 1” scale version. Thanks Tim Meyer

Hi Julian Please send me your email address. I will send them to you. Tim

Hi Julian I will dig them out and have them scanned. Tim

I really like the Jenix DRO that I put on my mill. Tim

I have at least one set of castings for the Saturated Steam Tangye #1 engine. But more importantly I have a set of drawings. If anyone purchased castings off of eBay without the drawings I am willing to help you out. Sincerely Tim Meyer
