Hi,

I just finished this engine that will power my version of the steam launch Wide Awake.

It is probably a bit overpowered as it has a 22mm bore by 20 stroke

I have stripped it down to paint and will post some pics when it is done.

The gastank that will feed the boiler is complete and tested to 250psi ( thats as high as the guage I had went up ). Thanks to veryone who replied to my earlier post about its construction.

Any comments, advice or even criticisim would be welcom

Hi Dougie, As you say it might be a bit overpowered, but still a good choice of a twin.still its a nice looking engine, I liked the shaft driven feed pump.
