After watching many videos of mills in and around Gula Java, I have become jealous of their high speed fully enclosed steam engines driving generators, so I decided to make one for myself.  These engines were designed for 24hr high speed running at high rpm. So they are fully enclosed with a pressurized oil system. A small number of hospitals in the UK used them into the 90s, maybe even today. A few companies made them, the most prominent being Bellis & Morcom of Redditch, and W.H. Allen of London. Bellis seems to have made most of the engines in java, so mine will be of that maker, but Allen’s did make the generators for the Titanic, so you choose. The engine itself is scratch-built from wood on a styrene base. The black thing at the top is the steam inlet valve, unfortunately hiding most of the cylinder. The generator is an old armature out of an Gilbert Erector electric motor,

the stator housing will be in part two, I need some advice as to how to make it. I’m still waiting for the motive power, which as I understand, is still locked in a DHL warehouse in Austria, or Chicago, possibly London, not sure. Also, I think I’ll get rid of the derrick on the right end of the layout, I’ve walked into twice today.
