This is one of my Cabin Fever purchases. After some cleaning it's not perfect but a lot better than it was.

Looks great, Randy! Those are very hard to find.
Is the firebox spot welded or riveted?

I was lucky to find this one at the price I did. The firebox is spot welded. Thanks for the compliments.

Looks like all it needs to be complete is the smoke stack and the cup for the safety valve. Piece of cake for a guy like you! You’ll have it all spiffed up in no time at all. They are still pretty powerful engines for only being single acting.

Should have a brass stack painted black and 4-1/2” long + or - 1/16”.
