"Penny" is based on the DeWinton Vertical Boilered 0-4-0 Tank Engine. Dave built this 7-1/4 gauge live steam engine over a 7 year period, to his own design. Using a combination of castings, scratch built components and modified fittings. The cylinders are Stuart No. 4 castings with 1-1/2" bore and 1-1/4" stroke. Boiler is rolled copper 7" diameter with a lapped and riveted seam, silver soldered throughout. The water tank has welded steel sides and brass top and bottom, capacity 14 pints, which gives a run of approximately 1 mile. Overall length 36". Max width over crank pins 15-3/4" |
