My old pa's steam engine.
 

This steam engine was built by my father
Mr Geoffrey Stacey in his garden shed
It took him several years of
Saturday afternoons to complete.

The steam engine was constructed from scrap
Brass and copper, virtually all the brass was
Cut from a gear box cover and the girders
Where made from a old antique brass
Mail box lid.

My father entered this steam engine
In to several Model engineering competitions
And won a Gold and two Silver medals.

Scratch build steam engine.


 

My home built steam engine.

My second attempt at building my own
Steam engine, this was inspired by the
Mamod Minor 2 twin cylinder from 1936
And my imagination of what it might have
Evolved in to, if it had stayed in production
A twin fly wheeled, twin piston Mamod Minor.
