Shmel 1

[steamjam]

Once again me mates turned up and after quite a few beers, I stupidly logged onto Ebay and spent 30 bux...

Its a 1970's Shmel-1 stove. Its missing its inner silencer cap so I'll either haveto somehow find one, or more likely I'll haveto make one out of some stainless sheet stock. Otherwise its built like a tank and runs pretty good on regular unleaded.

Nice find steamjam! How did I miss that one? Did that come from the states? Looks like more testing is in the works

hahaha you got Shmelpped Happens every time. Everytime I go on ebay I wanna get Origoed.........I have too many stoves. I'm going to get rid of some this week when I go East.

The stove looks like a "brutus maximus" The pot supports are substantial

What's the function of the outer piece with the handle?

It's a windscreen. The handle is there because to light the stove, you lift the windscreen off, fill the primer pan, light, and then re-install the screen.

Design a new horn/whistle for the engines. The type that play a tune every time you come to a place that needs a little toot you can toot a little tune. You'll have folks waiting for your train to come by just to hear your new creation. Use your existing whistle but learn how to regulate it so you can play a tune. Hey, you gotta liven up your day, why not whistle a few tunes

haha. In actuality, I am trying to come up with a jet turbine engine that runs of diesel or even perhaps hardware store naphtha using a turbo charger off a Ford truck, a few lengths of stainless tube, and a GM 4/71 fuel injector.
