Hello All,
I recently (last week) completed my first engine - a Philip Duclos Fire Eater, and much to my surprise the darn thing actually runs!

It would be a lie to say I was confident it would run, in fact, I really expected problems with it as I changed a few things (some intentionally and some............well, lets just say they were not my plan!)

Had more than a few uh-oh moments and made most parts at least twice and a few three or more times, but each time I learned a little bit.
Now I'm posting a short video on YouTube and will link it here once I figure out how. OK - I uploaded it - here's my first effort.
If it weren't for the information I've gathered here and several other forums, I would never have been able to get this thing completed let alone running. Thanks to all for the help.
Now the question is what do I build next???
Best,
Mike
