That is a very impresive little engine that you have built. It goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it. Looking forward to the next one. :D :D
Cheers :beer:

Hi Steve
It is nice to see that even though it fought you at most every turn you managed to make it conform to your specifications in the end and provided a running engine. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
Hopefully this snow will stop and start an orderly melt so as not to cause any flash floods this spring. I know that you are looking forward togetting thru the snow banks and into your shop. Before we know it casting season will be here again. :D :D
Cheers :beer:

Thanks Russell, Dwayne, David, Abraham, and Don! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:
It takes a fair amount of pressure, being a single acting uniflow and the steam passage is probably on the tight side -- haven't checked rpm or got a throttle on it to see how low I can go yet. -- I might have to drill out that passage, down the road. But I'm excited to have it running, and the sound is kinda like a quiet two cycle, pop pop popping away there in the vise. Much fun!
Now the fun part, cleanup and paint! I won't even ask if it should be painted as Russell did -- mine is a patchwork of braze and bits. Just have to find and thaw out whatever I've got for enamel......
Dwayne, I'm realllllly looking forward to seeing your engine running!! :beer: :beer: :beer:

Wow. I have been absent as of late... and seemed to have missed a whole lot!
Russell... That is a nicely done engine!
Steve, very well done indeed!
Shipto... It's coming along. Can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks Eric, Don, Norman.
I like that Steve, it's nice and compact and looks quite practical for powering something like a model boat.

Well done.
