I took a Skinner, single cyl., horizontal steam engine out to IN
last week. I think it's a Multi Flow.
I don't think is is a multi flow because all that I even ran had a big
exhaust chest in the center of the cylinder.

These are the 3 big pieces to it. The smaller stuff will come
later.

The crank / flywheel / rotor assy. Weighs 9 ton.

This is the sister engine, one serial # apart. We set this one up
about 10 years ago.
It's very dark in the powerhouse, so most pics came out too dark.
But I still wish you had mor pictures of the assembled engine from the
operating (valve gear) side.

Thanks Scott. I haven't seen any like that, looks like the slide valve
is built into the bearing housing. What's all that stuff in the middle
of the flywheel do?

Sure looks heavy!
