Yes ‘51, revisited? Have I posted it in this thread already? It’s getting hard to remember what I’ve shared here 🤣

Hard to remember? Do like I do, stand in front of the pile every day. Pull one off, shoot pictures,
then put it over there to start the done pile. :D Like digging a hole, then move it.

Nope, I don't believe you've had any repeats yet, but the wonder of all that you've been showing is such that repeats would indeed be welcome as well!!!

Just revisiting the year that item was produced/marketed, not revisiting the item itself!

Am I correct in thinking that the cylinders, flywheel and engine frame are some form of original, while the condensed milk can boiler is just a modern expedient to be able to run the engine?

The whole thing is a new build (30 years old now) by Russell Snyder. I purchased all of his molds for flywheels and cylinders last year. The boiler is also brass, so not a condensed milk can 😉
