The Retrol Marine Engine (BL1K) & Boiler Kit is a fully working live steam marine model inspired by the golden age of marine and industrial engineering.
Designed as a genuine hands-on kit, the BL1K allows you to assemble, fire and operate a real miniature steam engine powered by live steam — offering an engaging mechanical experience far beyond a static display model.
The fully welded brass boiler features:
-
Pressure regulator
-
Safety valve
-
0–7 bar pressure gauge
-
Water level indicator
The engine body is manufactured from die-cast brass for durability and authentic period styling. A stainless steel cylinder liner provides excellent heat resistance and reduced wear during operation.
Authentic Stephenson Valve Gear
The RW-BL1K features realistic Stephenson valve gear, historically used on steam locomotives and marine engines. This allows both forward and reverse operation while clearly demonstrating traditional steam timing and valve control.

Supplied with all required parts, tools and instructions, this kit allows users to build and operate their own working steam engine.
Included:
-
Steam engine parts set
