What does RW-BL2 mean?
RW-BL2 is the Rocking Whale model designation for this twin-cylinder model steam engine and boiler set.
What are the advantages of a twin-cylinder steam plant like the RW-BL2 over a single-cylinder set?
The twin-cylinder design provides continuous torque delivery and significantly smoother rotation, eliminating dead-centre stalls and offering reliable low-speed operation for tabletop demonstrations and mechanical displays.
What fuel, water and lubrication are required for the RW-BL2 live steam plant?
The boiler burner requires high-purity alcohol (≥95%), the boiler must be filled with distilled or demineralised water, and mechanical moving parts require light compounded steam cylinder oil applied before each run.
