I tried to price this very reasonable, with the time I have into it I'm really not making much at all , but I have way to many engines setting around.

I would guess you’re losing money on it! I hope someone takes it before I send you a message 😂

Now Sold. Tiny Tim can now have a wee bit more porridge for his Christmas meal.  :D

Cool demonstration videos - cool engine.  Kudos!

 One question - you mention that it now has an
immersion heating element.  Does this mean that
you drilled a hole in the back of the boiler,
silver soldered in a bushing, and screwed the
immersion heater in there?

Close , drilled hole in bottom rear, made Brass sleeve , soldered in place ,these immersion rod heaters do not screw in , simply slide In and give a twist to lock in place. I use very high temp Harris Stay bright #8 solder (much stronger than wilesco's), never had any come out and tested this (accidentally) by firing one up without water, glowed cherry red and ruined the brass sleeve but did not unsolder out of the boiler.

this is a small demonstration of what I'm talking about.

Merry Christmas

  Thanks, Bruce - nice video of your engine.
Your description is spot on.  It must take
nerve to drill a hole into a boiler.  The
installation reminds me of the setup of a
sleeved cartridge heater in a Weeden engine
I recently had to replace.

Re:.  "It must take

Maybe the 1st one , Jensen's are much easier to do than Wilesco's,the boilers are much thicker and are silver brazed, with Wilesco's  you have to be concerned with un-soldering the end caps.
