Toledo Engine

So Nyitra's Engine is a 1902 Toledo Steam Car Engine. You've probably heard some old guy say "They don't make them like they used to." - I think that guy was talking about my engine.

I think the folks at the American Bicycle Company Automobile Department would be proud to hear me say - Nyitra has "THE ENGINE USED IN TOLEDO STEAM CARRIAGES":


Nyitra's 6 Horse Power Twin Cylinder Toledo Engine. 114 years old (as of 2016).


 "6 Horse???" I hear you say. Yes, but 10 times the torque of a comparable 6HP diesel. It has the same number of power strokes per revolution as a V8 Gasoline engine.


I live in Ohio, so I am especially proud to operate this venerable old engine and give it a new life as in a steamboat for it's well deserved retirement.
