Fixed Height
2 inch steel channel
Jeff Smith wrote the following on the "Live Diesel" Yahoo Group, April 2013:
- I built my engine stand out of 2 inch channel. I made it so that two cars can be placed on the lower rack side by side, or one in the center below the engine. I made it 8 feet long to showcase our steam engine. I used 2 inch x 10 inch boards on each side on the top to make a work shelf when working on the engine. It makes a nice display rack, but if I did it over, I would make it so the tender would be under the steam engine and it would only be about 4.5 feet long. It takes up a lot of room in my garage. I would also make the vertical posts straight up and use 3/8 inch gusset plates on the corners so it would not rock.
- I added the angled channel pieces after I built the rack because I didn't like the flex. After I added those then I added the boards. I would also use tubing the next time because I saw a stand with rollers in the tubing and the steam engine could run while on the stand.
