Hand Built Twin Cylinder Compact Table Model Live Toy Steam Engine

This twin cylinder reversible engine has a delightfully complex Baker valve gear to switch the engine from forward to reverse, and you can even control the stroke length. The Baker valve gear was designed by the A. Of Swanton, Ohio and was issued its first patents in 1903.

The main difference with the Walschaerts valve gear (which was the style at the time) was that is used more pin joints to prevent wear and reduce maintenance. Also this arrangement allowed for more valve rod travel.

This Baker valve gear arrangement is rarely seen on a model steam engine, due to its complexity and the many extra hours of work involved in machining the parts from stock. The valve and piston rods are well packed and leak very little. HAND BUILT TWIN CYLINDER COMPACT TABLE MODEL LIVE TOY STEAM ENGINE.
