Rider Ericsson Hot Air Pumping engine

I was building this engine and sat it aside to complete the Mery. I'm getting close to having a chance to get back to this model. This is 1/4 scale of the originals. This picture shows you a bit more about the 'casting kits' than a completed engine. This would run on alcohol, or more likely a small propane burner in the firebox and among other things, was generally used as a water pumping engine.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
