Here are 2 superb 1/2 scaled down Coles Corliss Steam Engines built by master toolmaker, machinist, and engineer Wilhelm Huxhold. One is a duplex Corliss (twin cylinder) and the other is a single
These are perfectly scaled down from the Coles Corliss design. No castings were used. Bill hand crafted each part including every last stud, nut, and bolt.
Also note that Coles never offered a twin cylinder or duplex version of this engine. What you see here are the only examples in existence.
You may have seen these before at Cabin Fever, Rough & Tumble, American Precision Museum, or the NAMES show either in person or in my show videos. This is the first time I have filmed them in quiet at the Office of Steam.
Enjoy!
