steam engine at a yard sale this summer

[JustDugIt]

I was so happy to find this at a yard sale in Rochester mass this summer for 15$

Its a Weeden model steam Engine. Complete with original oil burner and wick.. i ran a compressor through it and it still works...
Absolutely shelf worthy imho ..i have it with my industrial revolution stuff
..figured id share!

An excellent score for 15 bucks, I'd be ecstatic! I would like to get a functional one to play with someday. You say it works, so is this example complete?

 

[JustDugIt]

Yeah plumby its fully functional that little piston whips as well as the wheel thats a little wood handled whistle on the front as well.glad you like it

I'd convert it to coal and train hamsters to keep it stoked.

As good as it gets for $15, did you have a mask and a gun when you got it?[8D]

You could run a tumbler with it if you like bottles a little cleaner. That's a cool find.
