Description

Mr. Ray F. HasBrouck has been designing and building small Steam Engines and Models for many years. Ray has designed several small engines, some models and others quite suitable for powering small steam boats. His designs are interesting in that they can be built without castings. This often puts a project in reach of the amateur machinist who does not have casting facilities. Ray offers several of his designs for sale at modest prices.
This enthusiast group has been formed for the Support and Dissemination of Information and Techniques related to the amateur construction of the HasBrouck Series of Steam Engines. We only ask that Mr. HasBrouk’s intellectual rights be respected and that all posts remain On-Topic. All OFF-TOPIC (OT) posts should be identified as such in the Subject line, to make it easier for users to skip over content that is not of interest to them.
Spammers, Profanity, and Ill-Wishers will be removed and banned.

Photos posted by members may be featured on this page from time to time.

Infringements on Mr. HasBrouck’s work will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Welcome to the group and we look forward to your input, photos and support.

Re: Converting from D valve to piston valve
I believe the main advantage of the piston valve is that they can operate at higher pressures without an increase in friction.  They are a real advantage

Re: Converting from D valve to piston valve
Bruce, If you can make piston valves correctly they have several benefits. As they are normally produced with inside admission they are less prone to leakage.

Re: Converting from D valve to piston valve
... Upon further thought it seems like I may have miss-spoken. My original thoughts centered on additional cross head and more parts in the valve cylinder

Re: Converting from D valve to piston valve
Bruce, What's complicated about a piston valve or in any way takes up excessive space? Anthony Berkeley, Calif.
