Miniatures I have made from kits & castings

A 1/4 scale Red wing Hit and miss engine . Original from the late 1800's this I made from limited rough castings and drawings most parts were raw steel stock or the castings some parts i had to design and make from scratch.

This engine runs. I designed and made a on demand valve that allows the engine to run on Propane. (not so messy & can run indoors very little fumes. Approx. 15"long X 12" high. The flywheels are 8" in Diameter. (still in my collection.)

Pully side. note the glasses for scale.

Drawing for the on-demand propane valve. Note the carburetor has to be slightly modified also. and the small propane bottle has to have a regulator for the propane output.

This is a 4-4-0 Reno Live steam engine running on 350 feet of G-gage track in my back yard. I assembled this locomotive from a kit by Astor of Japan. very well-made kit fired by butane originally alcohol fired. I modified the burners. It has forward and reverse. (Sold)
