Approximate Date: 1994
Owner: Roly Williams

Notes: Single cylinder single acting oscillating cylinder. Overall height 78mm. Vertical flue-tube boiler, fired with a single wick meths burner. Based on Tubal Cain's design published in 'Building Simple Model Steam Engines'. I don't know if Tubal Cain had any connection with Philcraft. Maybe he and Phil Gravet (the proprietor of Philcraft) were one and the same. 'Tubal Cain' was almost certainly a nom de plume.
