[QUOTE 3714347, member: 45"]I've got one of those! I also had a stationary engine but the boiler failed.[/QUOTE]
Same here except I had 2 stationary, one single piston, one dual piston ... Belonged to my grandad.
I used to have one of those too. Great fun.
Mind you we nearly burned down my mates house playing with them in his cellar (we were teenagers). We, stupidly overfilled the burner with meths which spilled over. When we lit it we had a nice big puddle of burning meths on the floor. My mate threw some liquid that was in a container on his work bench, god knows what was in the container but it turned the little puddle of burning meths into flames that nearly reached the wooden ceiling (actually the floorboards of the living room).
We did put it out, but I can't remember how.
Ah, happy days.
