Cotswold Heritage Perseus Model Steam Engine + Baker Fan
Great to hear the Perseus working against the Baker Fan and the three differences in the stepped pulley on the Baker fan really make a difference in the engines  labor.
And always a pleasure hearing one of Ozsteam Demons Chuff Pots working!

Love that sound Jim! I found the chuff enhancer is a great attention getter at the shows.

I bet they are Nick, Geoff gave me a fair few enhancer inserts and they all have different tones.

I brought the extras along to show those interested, and made sure they all knew that they came from a man down under that called himself the Oz Steam Demon  :)  The Demon chuff pots/water tower and Trev’s battery were my most talked about items at the show  :)

A very nice setup Jim , you have it all on the rotating plinth, I always like seeing an engine working & when you got that lovely Cotswold engine fired up and flowing through the Oz SD chuff pot ,it was superb !

I treasure all my Demon and Trev items....I talked to Trev's wife not so long ago. She misses him terribly and I also spoke to Demons son Matt and he's doing ok.

Hi Jim, Fantastic set-up there!

I also love the sound of the OZ Steam Demon's chuff pot on the outboard end of an engine doing some real work.

Very nice Jim! Do you think a Perseus will run well with the MSM 4” boiler? I want to do a plant with those and a PM Research generator. I’m hoping to be able to work it hard and still keep up the steam pressure. I never had a center flue boiler and it looks a little small compared to what I’m used to.
Best Regards
John

G'day John....nice to see you back mate.

Yes, the 4" MSM won't have any problem with your Perseus. I have run three engines off mine with no problem.
