'VULCAN' BEAM ENGINE
The "Vulcan" Beam Engine cir. 1830. This real old timer amongst beam engines , evokes the era of the early historic steam engine, when they were becoming self-contained all metal constructions. This engine is representative of that early transition from the use of wooden beams, and the engine structure being part of the engine house.A straight forward engine to build yet producing an attractive and interesting model which can be up and ready for steaming quite quickly for the experienced. It is also covered by a constructional series in The Model Engineer for those who may need a little help. And the model is thus ideal for up and coming modellers.
Cylinder 7/8" Bore x 2 1/4" Stroke - Base 10 1/4" x 5 1/8" - Flywheel 8 3/8" x dia.
Constructional series started in the Model Engineer 21st October, 1954.
