Hi PD's ...& welcome Jin.... :coffee

This appears a truly beautiful model horizontal steam engine  :clap

I do not see provision for lubrication of the engine crank journals.......?
Interesting steam distribution from the one receiver source to both cylinders via the 4 tubes to the valve blocks......
I do see much evidence of laser or CNC profiled components  :terrific
Not sure about the 8 flywheel web protuberances'  :nono 

Please tell us more about the engine........bore x stroke? .......foot print size?....principal dimensions?

Is it now part of your production?..........next question is cost $ ?........

Derek :beer
