Good news / Bad news....

Good news there was a small o-ring in my D10 kit of seals I had got for it some months back - fits perfectly on the screw.  So no more bubbling up steam water from the Smokestack / Safety-Valve.  I only now have just have the leak around the sight glass, mainly from the top.  I haven't the courage to even attempt to fix that, which leads me to....

Bad new is I was messing with the whistle top and the stub on the whistle just fell off.  I have a feeling it had been hit before as it looked a little smashed/bent over to me.  I am sure I had the biggest frowny face on known to man when it broke off.

This B35 while cool to watch and listen too, doesn't seem to want to run much.  It does okay on the Ferris Wheel but not the not the Wind Mill or the stand alone Water pump.  Heck it won't even move my  Wilesco shop.
