Model VI Steam Engine

Copy of 980.jpg (38763 bytes)There is a certain mystique attached to operating steam engines that is shared by no other form of motive power.  Now you can experience this feeling with this kit.  Designed to be assembled by someone with no prior metal or wood working experience.  It does require the use of solder and a propane torch, however previous experience with these materials would be beneficial.  This item is NOT recommended for children!
