Thanks, Kenneth. I hope to be able to make a nice video of it under steam. After clean up, I will lubricate and air test it. If all goes well, live steam will be in order. Compounds really prefer live steam and a work load.

Ron, how about a picture of the whole engine. If I remember right it is quite a good sized vertical Marklin and a real nice looking one at that.

Gill: You mentioned pictures of my large Marklin Vertical.
This is also somewhat of a Monster. I do have a small line
shaft to install also need a pump and Gov.

Hi Ron,
 
Lovely vertical Marklin you've got there. I have an extra original complete Marklin governor that I placed somewhere that might fit your engine. If you are interested, I will look for it and can bring it with me to the next Cabin Fever and see if it fits.
