    Beautiful bit of machinery! Always a complete joy when it comes back alive.

      I can`t agree more, it was a great feeling once she was running again.

    An amazing piece of machinery, seeing the pistons running so smoothly is just beautiful, though I have to say it seems a bit hard to fine down the throttle. Am glad that you two were able to bring it out for others to see and had a good space to run it.

      We hope to show it more in the near future and for sure we will bring it to Medemblik next year, the third weekend in September.

      probably touchy on the throttle because every thing is still new and tight , not broken in

    Bonjour Bram,
    Lucky man to have been there to share this experience with you friend ! Just the perfect machine to avoid gas in a near future :+) And there is a great whistle too ! I would have like to be there to drive it... Perhaps one day...
    Amicalement, Raphaël

      In Holland there is a live steam group who are publishing these drawings I think. The name is Stoom groep Holland.

    I'm looking for good plans to build a stem engine like this, what are the estimated power figures from this model? It is absolutely gorgeous!!

      I know that here are drawings around for this model. Don`t know about power figures but you can pull three adults with this engine. :)

      I wish I had the time to do such project but no this one is built by a man that isn`t any longer with us For me he was a master builder, such a fantastic job that he did.
