New Edition! Now available again.
This single-cylinder steam engine was developed mainly as a propulsion for our steamship Anna. With its compact design and stagnant boiler, the steam engine is a real eye-catcher and a technical highlight for the small steamboat. Of course, the machine is also suitable as a drive other model boats with about 50 cm in length or displacement of 1-2 kg.
The steam engine is delivered completely pre-assembled. The boiler is ready soldered, pressure tested and painted. The steam line is already installed. The operation was deliberately kept very simple. Fill water into the boiler, heat up and start the machine on the flywheel. About the small handwheel still the amount of steam can be adjusted and off you go. Esbit tablets are used as fuel.

These oscillating steam engines are the result of many years of experience in model ship construction with steam engine drives. This experience has enabled us to find the ideal combination of original optics, absolute reliability, high power yield and maximum safety. This resulted in this steam engine series after several improvement runs and many practical tests. A modern CNC production in Germany gives us the security for real quality, which nevertheless withstands the price of the few competition from low-wage countries and probably surpasses these in performance and security by far. The Alex steam engine is the slim version for smaller and narrower types of ships. It is available as a vertical or horizontal boiler variant and easily drives ship models weighing up to approx. 10 kg.
The machines and boiler plants are completely assembled and painted, which helps to deliver the plants carefully checked and adjusted. The scope of supply includes the machine with adjustable oiler and reversing valve for forward/reverse and speed, the boiler with safety valve, water level indicator, manometer and steam shut-off valve, the chimney with exhaust pipe, the gas burner with line and the exhaust steam condenser as well as the cladding strips for the boiler cladding and all connecting lines.

Victor steam engine vertical boiler cpl. KRICK steam engines
With the steam engines Alex and Victor we present you a completely new developed series of oscillating steam engines, into which over 20 years of experience in model ship steam engines could flow. The oscillating steam engines in particular have proven their worth for use in ship models. They are characterised by very simple design, operation at low boiler pressure and very low susceptibility to faults. In order to keep the quality standard on a really high level and to give the beginner in the world of steam engines the right product right from the start, these machines are completely assembled and painted. They have been steam tested prior to delivery to ensure performance and durability.
STEAM ENGINE VICTOR
The Victor is the large boiler variant of this steam engine series, which can offer the machine a whole lot more performance. The modern ceramic burner
and the boiler construction technology with 8 flue pipes makes this possible. This unit
can propel ships up to approx. 15 kg without problems. For our steam barges Victoria |20261| and Borkum |20291| it is the ideal application.
