Lovely engine Bob, you have it running nicely.

.   Thanks Bruce. It was a spur of the moment idea to see if it would run. It had been stored away since a move. It actually would barely run at first until I fixed the site glass leak. It needs lots of steam to get everything moving.
 Fixing the site glass went well except it still wanted to leak where the glass seals using an O-ring, so I had to remember back to making gaskets out of silicon tubing which sealed it nicely. Cutting the glass was about the same experience.... how did I do this again  .  All good fun.
