We have often heard people say: "A steam boat can't go as fast as my [whatever] powered boat".
Despite the fact that many of us prefer to measure our speed in fun per mile rather
than miles per hour, we have developed this engine for the person who wants Raw Horsepower.
More of this sort of thing below...
Capable of delivering 1,050 lb. ft. of torque (see torque output chart below) this power plant should satisfy the most rabid steam power fiend.
Torque Output Chart -- that means Power!

A bit of what the Parts / Castings look like
* All plans are "shipped" electronically, as PDF files.
If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to
adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click
here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.
(Personally, we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe products], but that's your call.)
BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way, actually) to move documents around electronically.

HP (in this context) means Horse Power.
(Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550
foot-pounds per second
or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary)
watts, and is the usual
measure of the amount of work an engine can do.
Oddly enough, not that closely related to the amount of work a Horse can do! (Go figure.)
See Does one horsepower really equal the power of one horse? (at www.carkeys.co.uk) for more information on that subject.
