We have had this engine around 6 years, I have uploaded previous videos of it running but I thought it was about time I explained how we go about starting it.
I hope you enjoy.

This is a nice engine & well maintained.I have some Mamod steam engines myself which i'am displaying & running at Tees Cottage Pumping Station at Darlington on Sun 9th October. You should run your engine there sometime.

Lovely job Kev, wish mine would run as still as that, being somewhat earlier it has no crank balance weights and would be shuffling on those bits of wood (particularly when it was running fast at start). Thanks for posting.

Yours runs well Richard, don’t forget ours is a lot heavier than yours. It may look like it was running fast but not fast enough to lift the govners.

It took a lot of tinkering and learning to get it to start and run first pull of the flywheel. All good fun 👍

i only just learned about this engine type, id like to see it put to some practical use like water pump or generator. it is interesting how it can use a variety of fuels

Is this a generator? How much kW does it generate in 1 hour? What is the market price of such an engine?

@anythingoldmechanical 10 ай бұрын

Superb engine, and great video very clearly explained. How do you steer it to turn it though, if it has to go somewhere? It must weigh at least 5 tons!

@greenoval25 10 ай бұрын

Thank you. It’s a pain to move around, at a show it stays where it comes off the trailer. It weighs around 2 tons
