Description
Factory Beam Engine
A beam engine is a type of steam engine, where a pivoted overhead beam is used to apply the force from a vertical piston to a vertical con-rod. This configuration, with the engine directly driving a pump, was first used in 1705 to remove water from mines in Cornwall.
The efficiency of the engines was improved by engineers including the likes of James Watt.
Beam engines were first used to pump water out of mines or into canals but could be used to pump water to supplement the flow for a waterwheel powering a mill.
This is a larger size beam engine (look at the figures as a reference).
Add that finer detail to your layout.

This listing is for our UNPAINTED set, supplied in premium BLACK resin at a discounted price.
Black resin is advantageous for painting, as it eliminates the need to paint undercarriages, hulls, boilers, wheels, inside cabs or other hard to reach places. This is why we choose black resin for all our painted models too! The coverage for painting black is comparable to grey or white resin and can be easily achieved with 1-2 coats of acrylic model paints.
Perfect for the DIY model enthusiast!
(We also offer Painted variations of all our models in our other listings!)
