Grout steam car water tank7/30/2018 Billings Cooke With the Grout now back at home I thought it time to start refitting components. I've had a new copper water tank made by Don Borden and his crew from Woodstock. What we did not know was its capacity. Set up on some saw horses and filled with water and then drain into a measured bucket yielded 27 gallon capacity. That should give the little Grout ample range STEAM CAR NEEDED FOR A DISNEY MOVIE7/30/2018 STEAM CAR NEEDED FOR A DISNEY MOVIE
Casey Richter Phone Number 6617141364 I'm looking for a Steam powered car to rent for on-camera use in an upcoming Disney feature film in the Savannah, GA USA area. The vehicle should be in running/driving condition and be period correct between the years 1895 and 1910. Would love the owner/operator to be able to come out with the vehicle to operate on-camera. Exact filming days are unknown at this point, but will be somewhere between 9/10 and 9/28 it looks like. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if anyone in your network has a vehicle that would fit this request. Thanks!

Billy steamed for about three hours. The ring was in fact a rectangle and Billy could just make the narrow side on full lock. The car steamed well after initial blowbacks as I had the pilot light turned up a little too high for the present fuel. I am trying to escape from the modern petrol/diesel mixture with ethanol in it which keeps changing to kerosene (heating oil) but it is a question of getting correct the height of the pilot light, the vaporizer size with the correct rods in it, the main jet size, the fuel which still can vary, the operating pressure and a few other things. |
