What a treat! Great you guys got it running good again and thank you for showing it!
I ran the TE1A tractor I bought as a pre-teen around '76 so hard I wore it out. Then I ran it some more.
Mom was pretty good about her dorky kid running it in the house. 
This one was set up for the Esbit flat solid fuel tablets.
Very neat seeing the differences between the two styles.
I had it easy with a canopy tho, as I started to wear it out I installed (teenager hack-job) a Tinker Toy reduction pulley
to slow it down and give it some power back. Worked good. Hope this was OK Richard.
  When I ran mine out of water it just burned some paint off the boiler. Oops.
Again, thank you!
