Polish "school engine" 1950s

  1. Great engine.

    I watched both the vids,one running compressed air adn one running on steam.

    I have acquired two similar engines from Poland. One complete adn one with an incomplete governor, but I will copy the parts from teh complete one to get it back in good working order again.

    What is the boiler size you used in the steam vid? Was that sufficient to drive the engine for a longer period of time?

    Kind regards,

    Petrus

    1. Hi Petrus. I use a Stuart 501 boiler which provides about 60 psi. That's plenty for this engine and long runs are no problem.
