ECHUCA

The ECHUCA is typical of many vertical stationary single cylinder steam engines used in the 19th and early 20th century in Australia.  Engines of this type were used in the gold fields, saw mills and small factories.

By adding Stephenson's reversing linkage the Echuca becomes a marine steam engine capable of powering model steamboats up to five feet on a boiler pressure of about 40 psi. 

When purchased as a casting set, the Echuca is an ideal project for the novice or more experienced model engineer It can be machined on a small (3 ½ inch) hobby lathe. (See Sherline on this site.)
