Steam Engine B

The Steam Engine B is a steam engine model for demonstrating a cycle where the working substance (water and steam) changes phase. Including a fixed brass cylinder which operates in both directions with a flywheel and drive wheel also operating in both directions, a centrifugal governor and a steam-jet oiling mechanism complete the engine construction.

The highly polished, nickel-coated brass boiler features an inspection window to show the water level, a spring safety valve and a domed steam whistle further signal progress. The brass boiler is fitted onto old-copper-coloured boiler housing with a brick pattern and a chimney. The water is heated using dry fuel while a tray for collecting condensed water is located under the chimney, allowing it to “smoke” like a real steam train.
