Charles Robins ten wheeler steamer

John Huizenga was building a gas powered Dash 9 for a former member. The rolling chassis was tested recently, and the power plant is on hand.







John mounted the engine, clutch, parking brake, hydraulic and belly tanks, and hydrostatic drive to this engine, getting it almost ready to run. Tom Wade bought it and finished up the hydraulic lines and controller for the hyrdostat, added a battery, then took the engine for a short test run on the track. Still needs all the electrics remoted, a choke added, and a bell, horn and body.

John also built a near twin of this engine, (but with a more suitable gasoline engine), got it finished and detailed, for Dick Bray.
