These tracks are abandoned and scheduled for removal in a few months. Another walking trail.
Steam Speeder Locomotive Railroad Engine Boiler with Pump
Steam Speeder. It is powered by a 5 to 6 hp. steam engine. The boiler itself is 20" dia. x 40". It measures 80" high to the top of the stack. The pop-off valve is set at 100 lbs. The boiler has 22 - 1 1/2" diameter copper tubes rolled in; they are 24" long. The firebox is nearly 20" in dia. x 14" tall with plenty of room for large pieces of wood or coal. It also includes a hand pump as well as a mechanical pump that runs off the engine.
The steam engine has forward and reverse. The bore is 3 inches and a 3-inch stroke. The overall length of the engine alone is 32" (width 14" and height 28"). The flywheel is 10" in diameter. I estimate the hp at 5-7, depending on boiler pressure.

    Me again. Love the wood as fuel rather than gas like a lot of the builders use. Best steam engine I’ve seen on here. Looks and sounds real efficient. You sir, are not only a craftsman, but an artist.

    Love it. I use to restore model T’s and old stationary farm engines with my son when he was 6 years old until he went off to college. We always meant to restore a steam engine but never had the opportunity. He is 39 now, and an electrical engineer with a PhD. Had chosen to work with high school kids and taught robotics and electronics before becoming a superintendent. I always believed his early start with mechanical fun gave him the foundation. Love your dedication and talent.
