Here is the Tyne mounted on it's new English Oak plinth:

I've ran it on steam for the first time and i can confirm what others have said of this engine, it is incontinent!!
I've also found it needs a lot of steam to run, hopefully this will get better as it gets ran in!
That plinth looks very nice
The brass slot screws finish it off.
That is certainly a very willing performer you have there Philip.
Philip, what more could a guy ask...that is a fine runner and looks to be built exceptionally well.

Along with being fantastic value for the money!
I'm very happy with it Rog, although it has taken a bit of running in. I believe these engines are really designed to run on around 30 or 40PSI but i've managed to get it ticking over on just less than 20PSI.
I suspect it will do far better than that too, given more run time!
Nice engine, and I just love all that brass and bronze showing naked.

I agree Daniel, that has certainly been the case with the Pevensey!
Yes i also love the bare look and it will develop a nice patina over time. I've certainly been very happy with my two MSM products and hope to add more to the collection in the near future.
Now has a pulley thanks to David (vpro) so i can make it do some work!

Looks like it even has a little traction grip texture inside the beltway, is that true Philip?

Yes it does have grip inside, it is a Wilesco pulley which David opened up so it would fit on the driveshaft which i felt was the most economical way to do it.
