- Hello everyone,
Today we're looking at another engine that's been sent to Lawrie from our friends over at EngineDIYshop - check out their website here: www.enginediys...
If you want to get one of these engines for yourself, then check out the link here: www.enginediys...
A video featuring, shot, and edited by Lawrie

Lawrie's Contraband Marvels ;)
Casually looks across at a Sentinel boiler, also held together with nuts and bolts.... 😁
I have a tiny oscillating engine made by an elderly model engineer, about 1/10th the size of your one Laurie. I have only ever run it on compressed air and due to the tiny surface area of the piston, it needs at least 75 PSI, at which point it runs at about 2000 RPM.
Just to let you know Lawrie - we sold the website out
I am surprised other than Mamod that no one else has decided to bring out some EU/UK/US safety specified little engines like this. This engine if it had the correct safety items like a proper safety valve and sight glass on the boiler would be excellent.
Thank You Lawrie one more to the collection! Be well
This one is pretty good too!
It’s nice that you made another one of these videos
I remember seeing kits for small steam engines and i love how those work!
*_"AVOID BEING SCALDED"_*
*KILLJOY!* 😉
That is such a lovely gubbins you have there Lawrie!
It is a Teenie Weenie Steamie...😊
Good video lawrie I love steam engines
Hornby produced a fully working live steam mallard in 1:76 scale, you gotta get one. These are amazing little replicas
If Laurie does go for one he should seek out the live steam owners club, saw them at Doncaster and the information they were able to give was way ahead of what Hornby's marketing team put out
good vid on the channel keep up the good vids on channel thanks lee
So what are you going to power with it???
A nice flat belt and........???
thanks
I wonder if this can run on a tea light, The flame is a lot smaller but perhaps given some extra time to heat the water it could work.
remaining water - can you just weigh the whole thing empty to know how much water is inside?
Well, you can do just that with gas bottles, so you should be able to with this if you have accurate-enough scales handy
Good idea.
That's not a bad idea
I sorta wanna see lawrie goes loco “9F”
Me too!
@@lmm are you gonna come back to the NYMR for their gala? I promise we don’t run THAT late every year…
I like it, but could you attach a belt on the fly wheel to power something?
The Wilesco D1 is very smiliar to this engine and has no sight glass either…
That's true. Must be a something that only comes in when it gets to 'standard' Mamod boiler size
Wilesco engines are completely legal to sell in the UK and the US
Yes they are. As are Mamod
@@lmm I subscribed!
No, a steam engine can be bought in europe without the glass or a safety valve. Look at the Wilesco D2.
How did he pull 17 minutes from this
I think the Wilesco D2 steam engine is the better looking and better designed engine.
I wish you had a tachometer gun, just to register the RPM of these small engines
Me too
But a small live traction engine

Clearly: avoid dumping your model girlfriend
Serious question how much is it to learn to drive a steam locomotive? Cannot find anything on Google.
Driving an engine is easy.
Driving it well is an artform.
The roll of the driver on heritage railways today is much more than just driving though
Laurie do you think you'll be heading to the 2025 Great Dorset Steamfair?
Edit: also re figuring out the water in the boiler. Could you use a tooth-pick as a dipstick?
Is it returning as the last few years its been cancelled, apparently due to circumstances.
@@bentullett6068they're not confirming anything yet, but I remain hopeful!
@CrowArchLane I know that the Welland Steam fair isn't far away date wise in Worcestershire.
Dude, seriously... wear some safetygoggles when you play with such crap...
Please stop saying "Twee!"
