Hi All who have TVR1A or TVR1BB steam engines.I’m interested to know how long people have been running their engines for and have you had any wear in the crosshead pin and con-rod small end bearing......I personally think this area needs redesign to have a larger bearing surface.I look forward to your responses.

Hi Jerry
Sorry not interested in how long you have had the steam engine, but how long you have been running it.

I’ve not recorded its use but at a rough estimate 500 hrs

You must have a lot of wear in this area i world have thought. How many times have you serviced your engine. The smaller your engineering the more accurate you must be. Have you made any model steam engines before......
