  Interesting model.  A bit on the rare side.  The whistle looks to be a
Weeden and the S/V-Chimney looks odd.

  When running Empires with horizontal boilers do not let water dribble
down the side of the boiler.  It can run underneath and short the heater
to death.  If you think water got down there, turn it off, empty whatever
water is in it, and just set it aside to dry out naturally.

Happy steaming,
Wayne
