stationary steam engine - Traction-Talk

enginenutt · #1 Post / In Thread 28th June 2010, 07:10 AM

I am looking for a stationary steam engine or pump approx 2 foot cube and up to 3 cwt to run with my 4' 6" X 2' boiler which I take to local rallies in Scotland.
I will consider anything anywhere in UK .
I would like a steam engine either vertical or horizontal and any pumps.
Any steam engines or pumps requiring work are also very acceptable

Thanks for that but both are to big.
I already have a Reader about the size of the Robey and it weighs about 1/2 ton.
I am looking for some thing more manageable.

I am still looking for an engine/pump.
Surely somebody out there has got a long lost project stuck under the bench or at the back of the shed that they mite not get around to that they will part with.
I do not mind if it is a major rebuild as I am retired and have a full workshop.
Heres ever with hope.
Yours Paul

Have you tried Preston services in Kent? They have got loads in various states.

I have a small Green and Sons engine. 3'9" overall with 24" crankshaft, 18" diameter flywheel. Very nice original condition.
