By the way....I think yours has a double-action engine, although the
steam pipe only serves the front end. My engine is a single-action and
I've had both. Mine needs steam oil so it is good that I can remove
the piston/rod and coat the piston and cylinder for the best runs. It
also has the band-heater solution.

Mine is laid out like it could be a double acting cylinder, but there is no steam feed to the piston rod (front) end of the cylinder, so in reality it is simply a single acting oscillator.
