Rolf Gets Up Steam & Runs Machine Shop on Steam

Rolf is one of the most talented volunteers at the NEWSM. His workmanship on model steam engines, alternators, steam pumps, and machine shop tools is outstanding.

At every Steam-Up Rolf shows his growing collection of operating steam engines and accessories. The steam engine driven alternator is a replica of the GE alternator in the NEWSM collection, and even generates 3-phase AC power for the lights on his display.

Rolf’s latest project is a steam powered combination woodworking and metalworking shop. All of the powered tools in the shop are functional and can actually cut wood and metal.
