Running steam on November 25th

Who would think that November 25th would be warm enough to run steam engines?

You have a good day to run a really good engine. I especially like the, whistle?
Where did you find that?

You had 50 degrees and we had 10 degrees - but in Celsius.
So we have very similar temperatures. I think the most fun
is when it's only 30 Fahrenheit, because the steam is perfect to see.

Bonjour,
Did you ever try to navigate with a temperature of 0°C ? I did !

Beautiful work Bruce, as usual. This could easily be adapted to make various agricultural sorters I've seen that are more of less the same form.

Nice video!  I would like to see that Coles/Worthington steam pump in action sometime.  I just mounted one on one of my locomotives, it runs great on air, I hope it does as well under steam.

That’s a nice setup! I have to second seeing the pump in action.
Best Regards
