Corliss type steam engine plans

[roxwellmax]

I recently downloaded plans for a Corliss style steam engine, drawn by J.A.M De Waal Papakura. Has anyone built this engine as I'm not sure if I might be taking on something a little too advanced for my ability?

Max.

I have not built that particular Corliss. I did build the one that used to be offered by Coles Power Models. It was a fairly complex build, but if you approach it with the same method that you would eat an elephant, one piece at a time, you should be just fine.
