Greetings everyone,
This is my 1/350 Titanic steam engine scratch build, which is coming along briskly, as you can see it’s just a little less than 2” long. I’ve always been fascinated with large marine reciprocating steam engines and it really doesn’t get much better than those used on the Olympic class in my opinion.
The crank is made from styrene and aluminum used for the webs. The baseplate is styrene and brass. Deep down in there one can see the crank bearings, valves, eccentric etc. The crank is set to TDC because it was just easier to get everything set that way.
The rest of the model is brass, styrene, aluminum, and steel.
I’m at about 30% with the piping so far, lots more gauges and valves to come as well.
Being as small as it is, compromises were made here and there. It’s about the size of 3 postage stamps, so it won’t be exact, but I think I’ve captured the essence.
Much more to come, I’ll post updates as it moves along.
