Congratulations,

I would not malign the seller/owner too much as he has passed away. I bought it from his estate auction and it was the only engine in the auction.
 
Also, no more worries about the uneducated not treating it right as the auctioneer has already personally delivered it to Craters and Freighters who are excellent at protecting what they ship.

I believe that adjusting knob hanging over the end of the dynamo is about all that is missing from the one I just acquired. I ought to be able to make one with a little help.

WOW! great buy Gil. How do you find these engines? When i search for auctions with steam engines, all that comes up are TRAINS. I should start collecting trains i guess. Can't wait for the video. crazydoug
