The Stuart Half Beam is a recent addition to our range. Based on the Stuart Beam this engine is relatively slow moving with the advantage of only requiring a small boiler to run. Under steam the intricate movement of the valve gear combined with the elegant rocking of the beam make this engine almost mesmerizing to watch. Please remember our sets of castings require the use of a lathe & milling machine to turn them into a working steam engine.
