A 1936 Portable Boiler & 10HP Stationary Engine. Both were at one time used in the Grande Prairie, AB hospital, & later by the Village of Hythe to steam open frozen drain culverts in the winter. They now belong to the South Peace Centennial Museum & are our corn cooker on event days.

Once cleaned I reassambled the engine until other bits I have ordered from ebay arrive. Initially it was just washers and rubber gromits for the safety valves, however the chimney stack has now been removed and I have ordered some copper rivets as well to attach it back eventually. The Meths (methylated spirit NOT mentholated BTW!) burner has been thoroughly wire brushed and knocked back into shape and should work fine which is good as these appear rather expensive to replace.

Mount Holyoke State Park, Massachusetts.
The Halfway Area, 365 feet below the summit of Mt. Holyoke, was the main entrance to the resort during the era of mountaintop hospitality. This steam engine powered the tram, or "funicular", up to Holyoke House from 1856 to 1937.

Grandad Beaudoin has had this since he was a teenager, it's now entertaining a third generation of engineers! It runs on Esbit solid fuel pellets. Similar to these sold today: amzn.to/hiaJik
