| Yet another paddleducks engine build |

Update on magic powder and broken taps-- It works! The offending item has now been dissolved out of the mounting hole which means I dont have to re make the part. There is still some in the tapped hole, but thats not an issue as I think I can rotate the gland by 45 deg . It took a while,(about a month), but it didnt hold me up as I was working on the other engine. Ian |

When I started on this project, I was working with the hope of 50% success rate, hence two engines. The intent was to make the mistakes on No.1 and end up with one good one plus some spare parts. Well, today I spent fiddling with No.2 engine, and it also runs! In fact I think it runs a little better than No. 1 I havent posted any pics/video as they are identical. When I get them running together I will post a vid. Ian |

Here we have both engines completed, assembled, run in on air but awaiting strip/clean before steam run. |
| Bernd:
Very well done. Now you need to build two boilers and two boats to put them in. :D Bernd |
| dsquire:
Ian Great job on those engines Ian. They will certainly enhance any boat that you decide to put them in. I am sure a great many of us will be watching for updates on the engines and the boilers. :ddb: :ddb: Cheers :beer: Don |
