Blackstaffe Compound
$5,000.00
1-1/2” + 4” x 2” Blackstaffe Compound that powered our 20-foot fantail ROSE hull, designed by Bill Durham. The hull attained its “hull speed” with this engine, powered by the 10 square foot VFT ‘Durham Donkey Boiler,” wood fired, as described in STEAMBOATS & MODERN STEAM LAUNCHES (January-February 1962, p 24). See LIGHT STEAM POWER for Backstaffe’s announcement of production; citation to be found. This engine needs re-fitting and re-painting—opportunity to a beginner who wants an engine of this size.
