Thanks for sharing it with us.

Don, great looking beam engine. I have always thought, that beam engines were something, with all their moving parts and everything else. larry1

Don,

Nice engine.

The touch of green paint is a nice highlight.

I'll be watching for the video.

Very nice work Don. I think beam engines are one of the most fascinating engines out there with all their mechanical linkages. You have done a super job on this one. What sized flywheel are you going to use?

Niiiiiice Don!
In both choice of engine and workmanship.

Thank you all again for the kind remarks,I hope it has inspired a few to build one,it is an odd design for a beam engine but fun to build.
I must get back to my traction engine next week.
How do you guys put two or more photos in the post,I have an awlful job with it :-[,I have to go in and out of the site and modify each time ,there must be a better way.

Great job Don !

Multiple photos are done just like the first one; Just press <Enter> between each one. If you have a browser that supports multiple tabs, keep one open for the tab where you are writing your post, and the other for your photobucket account. Then copy the first link from photobucket, and paste it in your post. Press <enter>, then on the tab with photobucket, go to the next photo, copy the link, and go back to the tab with your post, and paste. You're welcome to give a shout if you need further help or clarification.

Regards, Arnold

Don,

Nice video.

Looks to me that it runs well.

After it is broken in, I would like to see how slow it will go.
