GBSteam Beam engine. I was pleasantly surprised by the finish of all the parts. More so by tiny ball bearings. Need to read double check instructions. Classic RTFI. Else go back undo, do again according to picture. Very free running with careful assembly. As much a display piece as working model. Note flywheel already has grub screw installed. Model even turned over on blowing into boiler. This the beam engine. Very happy. Only just enough screws:-)

GBToyan V800 base Toyan V800 base Built the base with the additional parts of 3 ea, motor starter modules to make switching loads for a start enable (whole unit power), glow plug power(power to the 2 plug units), and the motor starter (self explanatory). I also added a second start button switch for safety to help prevent a stuck starter button sw from burning up the starter motor. So functionally. You have to press both start switches to crank the motor. I soldered all connections and used heat shrink to insulate the connections. All the electrics are installed inside the base. I did relocate the mounting of the motor to my preference. I’m still waiting on a replacement black fuel tank, or the glass for one end of my tank as it came with a cracked glass on one end.

GBSuccessful Christmas because of enginediy! My mom really wanted to find something for my son to build. He told her he’s interested in doing something with his hands for a career vs “going to college”. My husband is a mechanical engineer and their brains work pretty similarly. I was so happy to stumble upon enginediy.com. We decided on a small one as he is only 12. He built it pretty quickly and LOVED getting it to run successfully! It’s a combustion engine and we already need to go buy more wick for it! I’m glad he will have something to set on his desk for a very long time.
