Benson’s Vertical Engine
First of all, I would like to make it clear. I know nothing about engineering. Zero knowledge. None of it. However, when I research on steam engine. I saw this Benson’s Vertical Engine looks so cool with its vintage design. I just hooked by its appearance.
According to pollymodelengineering.co.uk,
“This type of engine was called by the Victorians a vertical engine. An engine with the cylinder above the crankshaft was called an inverted vertical. This engine was built in the middle of the nineteenth century and is typical of the type.“
The good thing is I can always search for tons of reference for this engine as it is a object physically existed :
Work In Progress
Afterthat, I built models to follow all details parts with my reference photos. Again, I still don’t understand how it function, but I decided not to dig into it. I just adjusted my models by my own visual adjustment.
