... I have also wondered about this my No5 can be quite hard to reverse with full steam pressure on. I will put my thinking cap on as well, this should be...
... It appears from the lack of castings, and the base seeming to be from some other sort of machine, I would guess it to be home made. Too bad there aren't a...
... Any thoughts on why anyone might want to do this? Seems it takes a relatively compact simple valve action and makes it pretty complicated. Bruce Jahn in...
... 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...
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....
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...
Hi Chriso, I have built the number 10 and other steam engines and I have successfully used both brazing and welding for similar parts - I recently made up a...

we have a #5 engine goimg into our 1895 steam launch that needs a boiler feed pump fitted is there any plans around and what stroke and piston size would i...
... I didn't notice an answer to this question, so will send along my thoughts. Not knowing anything about the efficiency of your boiler and given a rational...

... I think this might be a bit big for a #5. We had a #5 in the NORMAN D. but my partner built the engine and pump. But as I recall the pump bore was about...
The double eccentric sounds interresting the boiler is a black staff flash boiler Gas fired with a new LPG high powered burner it should be very quick to steam...

One approach would be to scale from the #10 design. The #10 uses a 0.25 inch dia piston with 3.0 inch stroke. Assuming similar cutoffs for the valving and...
Hi Rolf, Thanks for the informative post. I don't have my #5 prints down here, but I'm thinking it unlikely that my crossheads could support a 2.5 inch ...
