It is a pity about the condensate and I realise it would not be a good idea to build an injector to put that oil contaminated water back in the boiler, so scrub that idea.
But how about reheating the steam/water before sending it out the funnel? I am thinking there may be room to route the exhaust pipes through the 'firebox'?

John,
The condensate now drains out of the collector in the chimney base, into a collector tank.
Since installing the plastic pistons, it is clean enough to pour back into my boiler water bottle & re use again! :thumbup:
More to follow........

David,
Did I see a compressor from a refrigirator as an air supply to the engine? :clap:
They do make nice little quite compressors and vaccum pumps.

Yes Bernd,
That one is from a small home dehumidifier.
It test runs all my engines, no problem. Usually.......
At first assembly of this present build, it couldn`t turn the engine over. ::)
Now it fairly flies! Proving the efficiency of each one of the improvements. :thumbup:
