Beautiful work Rich, really well done from the UK

That is a great job. I am a retired toolmaker and former owner of a forty horse Case engine that needed some fixing up. I can attest to the dedication that a jewel like this would take. Congratulations!!

AMAZING AMAZING!! Until most viewers watch your video of the tractor you made I don't think they realize that you have personally manufactured all the parts for this steam engine, such as making all the moulds first then casting and machining everything that is to be made that way and beyond that... having the unit function perfectly and absolutely smooth is unbelievable except I know you are giving a true report of your project!! Thanks so much for sharing your video on here!!

Very nice model, I'm planning on buying something similar.

Beautiful Engine, Rich. A credit to your skill. One recommendation if I may, if you intend on actually steaming the engine frequently, would be to add some more washout plugs and another blowdown valve on the mudring to help keep the water legs clear, and a washout plug on the bottom of the front tubesheet will help to keep the bottom of the boiler barrel clean. Also, one plug on the backhead above the crownsheet will give you access to wash the top of the firebox to stop scale from sitting there and building up around the stays. I see two feedwater lines, one obviously coming from the feed pump and it's heater, the other I assume is going to either an injector or a hand pump. A perfect size injector I would recommend for this engine if you don't already have one fitted is the 1/4" NPT Eccentric Engineer Injector. He makes excellent quality injectors that are very reliable and reasonably priced.

That is a beautiful piece of machinery! Awesome job sir!!

[dustyboots]

Very nice job. The hrs you have spent on this project are very worth while.

[drosera]

Very nicely made. Wish I could find one for sale but they are so hard to find in the US.

[mikeshively]

That is beyond awesome, I'd love to have one but a little out of my price range lol. Seems like theres more available over sees than in the US, Kits and such

Well done thank you for showing this, I like the fine details like the water pump. I have a 40 horse Case Steam traction engine Year 1919.

[tristanbullard]

You got any of these around yet I’m looking to buy one?

[jasonbergey]

Wow, how did you find the exact dimensions of everything? Was it all by eye? How did you cast it?

[troybriannatyler]

Quick question, I have a 1/4 scale 65 case. To run these scale models on air how much air pressure do they need to run? And on air will the pop off valve work if it hits 100 psi or whatever they’re rated for

[laurentiurizac]

can u please tell me the diameter of the boiler, or if u have multiple measurements, a plan, something

[kristafoster]

Can you build another one for me I have the castings but I need a boiler and the rest of the engine

[rogermorrill]

Lever forward is reverse, lever back is forward

[CHARLIEable]

You're very talented. What a beautiful machine. Maybe you have a friend or a distant relative that might have a small one that might be for sale. I don't want to entertain the Chinese ones right now thank you for reading my message from Tacoma Washington

[tandemcompound]

stunning model. did you make the boiler?

[wiy]

What happens when you notch up on the johnson bar?
