They Don?t Build Toys Like This Anymore | Doll 510/2 Overtype Steam Engine nearly a Century Old!The incredible craftsmanship of the Doll 510/2 Overtype Steam Engine. Manufactured in Nuremberg, Germany, by Doll & Co., these vertical steam engines are prime examples of mid-20th-century mechanical engineering.
My mouth has always drooled at those top of the line engines that Doll made back in the day, so beautiful and so incredibly ornate and so complex. I have also often wondered who bought them as they must have been prohibitively expensive to purchase. It was really the golden age of such models wasn't it.
Biggest problem is the heat those vapourisers put out, you can see in the vid that I cover one with tinfoil but even one produces way too much heat. I tried watering down the spirits with water but need to find the correct %.
I've run it often in the past on gas with the gas turned right down and it's awesome just to sit there and watch it tick over slowly but the gas bottle etc is ugly compared to the nickeled vapouriser burner.
Any suggestions?
