Steam car present

7/25/2017

 

A nice birthday present!
What can be more heartwarming than receiving a pencil drawing from my daughter of a Stanley engine like the one in our 735 ? :)
She also likes to help me with firing up etc. - THATS a real pleasure :

Steam car parts available on Vermont tour

7/22/2017

 
​
Dear All,

For those who will be participating in the Vermont Tour in August, Don will be there with some of the Vintage Steam Products product line.

He is leaving on July 30 so if you need something other than fittings, packing, and caulk, let us know ASAP so Carolyn can get it organized to be on the trailer with the Betty Anne.    Unhappily due to work commitments, Carolyn is not able to come this year.

We will keep some stock in Dallas to fill orders while Don is gone.

We look forward to hearing from you and Don is looking forward to seeing those who will be on tour and/or in Kingsfield the prior week.

Happy Steamin' to all,

Carolyn and Donald Hoke

Stanley Steam car pressure tank

7/19/2017

 
‎Donald Hoke‎ to Friends who like Steam Car Network

Good Evening Steam Enthusiasts!
The fuel pressure tank on The BettyAnne, our 1925 Stanley SV252G, is showing its age. It held pressure for a while, but has sprung a leak.
The leak is now repaired with silver solder and a drain plug, but I suspect this is not a permanent repair.
1. Who has a Stanley Model 740 or 750 fuel pressure tank for sale?
2. Vintage Steam Products would consider making these tanks if we had enough orders to cover the set up cost. How many folks would be interested in one of these tanks. They are about 14" long and 6" in diameter. Each would have a drain plug, a fuel inlet/outlet fitting, and an air inlet fitting. I suspect we would make them from copper just as we do the existing pressure tanks for non-condensing Stanleys. They would be pressure tested to about 350 psi.
3. The Stewart Biography is at the printer. I will have a proof copy at the Stanley Museum Seminar in a few weeks. Thanks very much to the folks who helped sponsor it! $80.00 plus postage and handling. 125 copies in the initial press run. Thank heaven for Print On Demand!
4. If you need something from Vintage Steam Products, I can deliver to Vermont, but Carolyn must know by July 27th at the very latest.
Very best wishes!

With some superb photos and meeting some wonderful people, through our Hire Steam experiences we thought we'd record some of the details better by getting some prints produced and framed for our walls. What do you think?
