Have you added a twin Doll to the collection too?

Yes, it is in the works.  It will be mounted to a Plinth as well, with a boiler. However I am trying to order a Jensen 55 electrically heated boiler and firebox to use for it. I’d also like to use piping, instead of hosing for it.

Few things with it, I believe the timing is off. It doesn’t have any power and won’t run on 10-15psi of steam but it should.  Can’t figure it out.  I’m trying to figure out the model number of it so I can watch videos on how to fix on it.  I also need to plan & prep how I am
Going to solder a pipe onto it. 

Here is a photo of it.

This one is from Charlie, but I didn’t want to post photos until it is done.  He gifted it to me.  Very generous he is.

Nick:

I built this out of a parts bin that was gifted to me by Scott's wife.  It runs on less that 5 psi; so I am scratching me head about why Travis couldn't get it to run on steam.

I never messed with the timing.  I ran it on air periodically and thought it would be a good project for Travis.  I also gave him a Marklin Boiler from the parts bin that needs some work.  I guess he decided to go in a different direction on a boiler to pair with it.
