Engines without Castings
Ray
HasBrouck designed and built small steam engines and
models for many years. He was interested in steam all his life,
starting as an Engineer aboard a WWII Liberty Ship. He was always
happy to share his knowledge of steam with others, as he was
doing in the photo above in the engine room of the Liberty Ship JOHN

Ray has designed several small engines, some as models, others
suitable for powering small steam launches. His designs are notable
in that they can be built without castings. This often puts a design
in reach of the amateur machinist that does not have cating
facilities.
Sadly, Ray passed away in December of 2009, but he made provisions in his
will to insure the plans would still be available.
There is a Yahoo Group devoted to builders of Rays
engines. This group is a great way to exchange information with other
builders of Rays engines, and see photos of finished engines. See
