      Thanks Steve. It’s certainly not a first steam engine kit! Experience is helpful! My first steam engine was a Stuart 10H machined kit, which was far easier! That was many moons ago.......

    Hi Mark
    Ive just started making this model and im so glad i found your videos which show perfectly how to assemble the engine.Is the series complete from start to finish?
    If so it will be a fantastic reference for anyone making this model.Thanks again.

      Glad you found it useful. The series is complete apart from the governor.

    Your not worried about the bolts working loose later on, since you're not using locktite on the bolts and screws??

      Great question Anthony. This is only a pre-assembly as it will all come apart again for painting and polishing, etc. The bolts that can be fully tightened don't need thread lock as steam engines don't vibrate much. I.e. Bolts holding the cylinder, valve chest, etc. The ones that can't be fully tightened will have Loctite applied. These are places like the lever forks where fully tightening them will close the forks and jam the levers.

    Hi Mark - great videos. Thx. - I have an beam engine the same as the one you are building in these videos. But I do not have all the parts. What materials would you use if you were manufacturing the eccentric sheave and the connecting rod? Stainless or just mild steel? Many thanks

      Glad you liked the videos Martin. I’d use mild steel for those parts. Stainless is unnecessary.
