George Wilson Large Horizontal Steam Engine
« on: January 02, 2020, 06:31:43 pm »
My Wilson steam engine arrived from Canada today.  It was very well packed, with four inches of dense foam on all sides, as well as top and bottom.  It came with a few years of dirt and grunge, but turned over so smoothly that I decided to go directly to a trial run on steam, rather than a pre-trial air run.  It runs beautifully, with no knocks or noises, and runs quite well from 2.5 psi to as little as 1 psi.  I'm very pleased with this engine, and may try to find room to bring it to Cabin Fever in a couple of weeks.

It runs at least as well as mine!

Good score, Doug!
