I found this short video on Youtube with only 34 views. I don't know what the engine is or who built it, but not only does it look good, it's running the best I have ever seen a model hit and miss run.

Its a rather nice Vaughn, castings were done by Debolt but are no longer available
 
I didn't want to start a whole new thread so I thought I'd hijack my own.

I haven't made a steam engine or boiler yet, but according to this video you can make the whole thing out of glass... (I know, I've gotta stop spending so much time on Youtube)

I see no link or any other way to see this video... Is that just me... or has it disappeared?

Nope, neither of my links are there anymore. I didn't delete them, they're just gone. I'll see if I can dig them up again.

Edit :

The steam engine

And the hit and miss

Thanks for reposting those.

I'd seen the glass engine video before. 405 views on the hit & miss. That's a super nice engine.

I scored a set of Vaughn castings at an estate sale earlier this year. Absolutely complete in the original Debolt box and never been worked on. I haven't worked up the skills necessary to build it yet, but maybe after another couple engines I will. It looks like a really good kit.
