These steam engines were very popular in the UK in the 60s and 70s too. Mamod the company that made them used to make vehicles and all sorts. The basic engine like that one was one of the cheapest things they did and most basic. Kids used to love this kind of thing and it got them into mechanical engineering. Raspberry Pi's computer boards and robot making are the modern equivalents of these things.

Steam engines should use distilled water, this is often used in far batteries. Water used in irons is called Deionized water and this water will eat away at any zinc ions in the brass. In conclusion use distilled water, never Deionized water but tap water is just fine. I mean tap water is more then fine, it will create limescale over time that can be removed with kettle cleaner or lemon juice.

Just an FYI, if you restore one that’s a little bigger and more robust don’t polish out the wheels. They need the texture for grip if you’re running a belt. Still if the axle and wheels where better balanced, something like this could actually power small things like a sewing machine or a hobby bandsaw

A very satisfying restoration! Thank you. I still have my old Mamod engine from 40 years ago and it still works. A thought: restoration of the safety valve might have been a good thing to show; these model boilers can burst if the valve isn't working.

That is the coolest looking disaster I have seen in a while.

I can’t stop watching your channel

That was really great to watch. I hope you can get your hands on more steam engines

Great work! I restored one of those years ago, a Wilesco. I love those little steam engines. I hope you used paint that resist fire, I made the mistake of using normal paint. Anyway, If the paint suffers with the contact of the flame, you can strip the paint again and leave the boiler without painting, it's going to be a nice contrast with the black and it's probably made of brass. By the wa, if you are going to use it regularly, use oil for steam engines, it's cheap and easy to find in ebay in stores that sell those machines. It's special, the hot steam doesn't affect it, it works with it. Old technology! And, as other comment says, it's good to use destilled water to prevent limescale. Regards.

My father builds small steam engines. So much fun to watch them run!

Vinegar would delime the boiler. You should use steam oil (mix it with canola oil for the small engine).

This is one of the most interesting devices I’ve seen on this channel. Really enjoyed that.

You're better off using straight vinegar than using ketchup, and it's cheaper, too. Vinegar can also remove the lime scale from inside the tank.
