The Stuart 5A is a powerful engine from which you would expect many years of hard work. The engine is capable of producing 1 1/2 bhp at 100 psi pressure whilst running at 800 rpm. Its reputation for hard work has led it into many demanding situations for example driving dynamos, pumps, compressors & other machinery. An optional discwheel, feed pump & reverse gear are available which would enable you to use this model as a marine engine. Please note that we only supply this engine as a set of castings & drawings, there are no materials or fixings in the kit. Please remember our sets of castings require the use of a lathe & milling machine to turn them into a working steam engine. Engine Description: Stuart 5A Castings & Drawings only. Specifications:
