Midwest
Model Steam
Products |
Link requests are pretty
common and I try to be accommodating
when the subject matter is a good fit.
Another often amusing inquiry concerns
"Where can I find a big, honking
huge, I mean a really impressive model steam engine?" By
adding this link, I've multitasked a
wee bit. I've not only added Nidwest
Model Steam Products to this links list,
but those looking for a gigargantuan bodaciously large impressive model steam engine can now
sleep peacefully at night. Midwest Model Steam
Products' BH2 steam engine weighs in
at a hernia creating 175 pounds, complete
with twin cylinders with a steam hungry 2 1/2 x 4
inches of muscular bore and stroke.
They also offer a line of model steam train parts
and one very interesting little turbo
generator. We're talking some serious
steam here folks. |

Green Velvet
Steam
Cylinder Oils |
Proper internal lubrication
is essential to the longevity of your
steam engine. As any veteran steamer
knows there just aren't many sources
for steam oils left these days... especially
high quality oils. Bill, at Green Velvet,
has spent a large chunk of his
life chasing down the formulas he uses
to produce what is perhaps the most
effective product I've used. He
also sells his products at a very resonable
price for small user quantities. I use
it in my own engines... I like it ...
I'm sharing the information with
you..... nuff said
