I took a Skinner, single cyl., horizontal steam engine out to IN
last week. I think it's a Multi Flow.
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.

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?

That is not the slide valve, it is a Skinner (ego Poppet Valve) engine.
The stuff in the middle of the flywheel are weights and links for the
governor. The ring right near the chain moves on the shaft to control
the admission valve cam.


Sure looks heavy!

As a freind used to say - those things are made out of heavy.
