  A very nice engine indeed.
  
  I had one in the past that has since been passed on to another member.   Even though it was in very good condition 
  
  it did not compare.

• Very nice runner - you can't find them in Switzerland.
  They look very strong and sturdy.
  Congrats,

• Beautiful engine, Jim! Thanks for the video. Liked the music, too! I've got an older 55, but it needs some attention.

• Very nice find Jim!
  
  You might want to take care of the sight glass leak before your firebox starts rusting.

  Thanks, I did tighten the retaining ring nut which should cure that problem.
