EngineDIYShop RETROL SE- 02 Steam Engine Plant Kit
A very nice DIY build kit. Very clever the glass screw on boiler front with the built in water sight. It took me longer than I thought putting it all together + the time on my knees looking for a nut and a bolt!!!
Most definitely needs some modifications, it has a very unique industrial sound to it this engine, quite pleasing to the ear. The only shortfall in the whole design is the silicone tubing coming from the boiler to the steam chest. I've sat now for quite awhile considering how to modify that with a copper pipe run.

Science is fun.

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
