Thanks guys, it is lovely

After getting the minor issues solved, with steamvalve and cylindervalve completely frozen in plaze from decades of inactivity, it was tested on air to ensure its running capability.
Since the airtest was positive, i filled it up with water, and steamed it...expecting water spewing from both boilerends.
Quite pleased to find that the rather serious looking dezinc on the boiler, appearently is clogged with lime or similar, as no leaks occured and it performed flawlessly.

Will upload a movie at some point, as i did film the run, since it quite possibly will be the only one it gets here
