It looks to be factory made, although there are no markings on it. The 4 cylinder, oscillating engine has a crankshaft driven water pump and there is also a hand pump. I am sure that this is a marine plant that somebody mounted to be a stationary plant. I have to determine the operating pressure, hydro the boiler, and test the safety valve. Does anybody recognize this piece of equipment? #Post#: 42066-------------------------------------------------- Re: New Steam Plant By: Quickj Date: May 16, 2021, 6:47 pm --------------------------------------------------------- This engine and boiler are built to a design by Jan Gunnarsson and the plans for them were serialized in Live Steam magazine many years ago. You can still get the complete articles' and plans in the book "Steam and Stirling engines you can Build" (volume one) which is available from Village Press.

Have you gotten it to work yet? #Post#: 47402-------------------------------------------------- Re: New Steam Plant By: Brad Date: December 13, 2021, 5:26 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I haven't done the hydro on that plant yet. Been playing with my Stuart 504 steam plant and working on my PM Research horizontal boiler. It's on the list. *****************************************************
