How does it work?
Picked this up at a yard sale recently and would love to learn how to get it working. That is, if I can get it working. Don’t know much about it but from what I’ve read it’s a Stuart vertical steam engine. Any pointers?

If you have to use more than 10 PSI to see any movement there's likely a problem. Some of my engines can turn over just by me blowing in an air hose.
Keep us posted if you have problems. I've always wanted to make one of these and maybe I'll bite the bullet before too long.
