My Latest Build

[Philjoe5]

Here’s a picture of my latest build, an oscillating rotary valve steam engine,

It might look familiar. I posted a pic/vid of my first build of this model last December. This is actually my third completed model of this engine. You can view other pictures at

I like to play around with different cutting techniques and materials. The version pictured here has a more bling due to the use of aluminum bronze for many exposed parts. Now it’s fun to observe and compare the different characteristics of each version. There’s a video for your viewing pleasure at:

Nice looking engine there Phil. I bet that engine would sound sweeter on "steam" ;D

Looks Great. A friend of mine has one of these powering his miniature shop for years. It's always a good runner.
