Retrol VE-01 Crossbeam Vacuum Engine First Run extremely happy with this purchase of this vacuum engine. The flame adjuster works superbly.

Thanks Dave.
I have around 500 videos on my channel, anyone who has spent even a little while perusing my channel and seeing my engines in my collection knows that I'm model nut be it steam, IC engine, flame gulper etc etc.
I'm enthusiastic about the hobby and part of the hobby for me is sharing.
For me also, I enjoy watching other unboxing new or old engines that they have just received and living vicariously through their enjoyment.
There's always bitter people, always has been always will be.....I've never let their bitterness taint my enjoyment.

My newly received ENGINEDIY VE 01 Vacuum Engine, always a pleasure to unbox an engine that has been packed so well for travel halfway around the world. Looking forward to taking a good look at this engine and getting it running in my next video.

Been too long since I've steamed up my Weeden #43

I said in an earlier video I would do an S10 Mill Steam Engine update and some more information on the Governor in another video.

G'day Graham,

He really enjoyed making it and learning about brazing and everything else that was needed to get it up to running.

Hand santiser is just an easy cheap fuel I've found for small boilers....the added spirits just makes it burn that little quicker but you don't really need it.

Homemade Rat Steam Engine Live Steam Know what a Rat Rod is? This is a Rat Steam Engine My 12 year old Grandson with my help, made this out of some plumbing bits and pieces ..... 4 hours in the workshop one day and 4 hours the next day. It's all silver brazed except for the steam and exhaust inlet & outlet. He learnt a lot and I had 8 hours of absolute bliss with him! It's rough....but it goes!

G'day Mike, you should re-find it and have some fun setting it up. They are still fun to run off air, you could make a rather small copper boiler for it, they don't need all that much psi to get running.

Have a nice Christmas.

Cotswold Heritage Perseus Model Steam Engine + Baker Fan Great to hear the Perseus working against the Baker Fan and the three differences in the stepped pulley on the Baker fan really make a difference in the engines labor. And always a pleasure hearing one of Ozsteam Demons Chuff Pots working!

Here's a story, a sad but wonderful story and the history on this nearly Century old Weeden upright Steam Engine -
