The model of the “Danni” horizontal steam engine consists of a stable frame to which the double-acting steam cylinder is connected. The cylinder of the steam engine is controlled via an eccentric and a round slide. This compact yet powerful steam engine is ideal for operation with a steam boiler, but can of course also be powered with compressed air. If the kit is carefully manufactured and without load, the machine starts running at just 0.1 bar. The “Danni” is also equipped with a cord pulley with two diameters, so that it is also very suitable for driving drive models such as circular saws, drills or hammer mills.
The construction plan and instructions for this steam engine are very comprehensive, detailed and easy to understand. This makes the kit not only suitable for model building professionals but also for newcomers to technical model building. The construction instructions go into the production of each component. For the model builder who has always been want to build steam engines yourself Machine "Danni" definitely a good choice. But even advanced model makers will enjoy this visually appealing single-cylinder model. It represents an interesting addition to any model machine park and definitely belongs in every collection.
The cylinder of the model steam engine is made of brass, the piston is made of bronze. Piston rods and sliders are made of stainless steel and the flywheel is made of cast iron.

Only a few tools are needed to build the “Danni” steam engine material kit. A small lathe and a small drill are completely sufficient. If you choose the cast flywheel, your lathe should be large enough to turn an 80mm flywheel on the outside. If this is not the case, select the milled flywheel that is already finished on the outside diameter. There should also be a gas burner for soldering larger parts. M2 and M3 taps and M2 and M3 cutting dies are also needed. You also need reamers 4H7, 6H7, files and a drill set.
