This model was built as the
Locomobile Company was changing to internal explosion engines. The
specifications give you the impression of a potent runabout compared to
the standard style no. 2 also sold in 1903.
Specifications:
Wheel base is 75”
Boiler is 16”
Fuel tank capacity 14 gallon
Water tank capacity 32 gallon
The normal 2½"x3½" bore-stoke machine, late version with reinforced
cylinder for higher pressure.
The model came with oil pump instead of the normal displacement
lubricator.
More feed water heater capacity.
Steam super heater
Steam pumps for both water and air pressure
I bought the car in the state
shown on the photos. Well done, but a few minor mistakes. Some parts are
not restored, like the burner, the boiler and all pluming. I want to get
it back to as original as possible. Most of the parts are there. One of
the difficult parts I am missing is the two steam pumps for water and
air. Let me know if you have parts, photos or drawings.
