Thanks Daniel , it is my passion to improve....well, Everything ! It is most difficult for me to leave things alone. I restrain myself with the more rare steam plants out there , but run of the mill ordinary engines are probably gonna get something done to them. I absolutely love bringing a battered ,abused or neglected engines back to as nice of running & looking condition as possible.

Maaaaaate!

What a wonderful 'World of Wilesco' this is Bruce.

That D2 walking stick is really really cool and I liked seeing it again.

Thanks for the baker fan measurements. I've been to the timber yard this morning in town and got some nice pieces of wood to try and make one.

I'll be back around your table soon to go over some more of your engines :)

Great stuff!  The cane is just wild.

I totally agree, nothing is more satisfying than taking a beaten and abused engine and bringing in back better than new!  My favorite engines are the ones that take the most work.

Somehow I missed your introduction Bruce.

You did a great job and I couldn’t have said it any better.

The hits just keep on coming too!

Your productivity is intimidating. 🤠

Bruce the D21 is really an impressive engine isn't it and so beautiful in looks that it never fails to leave an impression even on non steamer folks.

Yes Jim, & this plant is absolutely leak free on the engine itself, very well put together. one of the best applications for cartridge heater, you can literally run it till it wears out if you want to.
