(Continued from new member topic).  Epoxied to secure flywheel to shaft, replaced SV and whistle gaskets, replaced non-OEM valve with plug, mounted DIY smokestack, and compressed air function test seemed OK. (15 psi seems to run much too fast IMHO). Will let eldest grandson have pleasure of steam checking it and then see if he wants to keep it or not, he needs another hobby more than I do.  [ Guests cannot view attachments ] (Tried to attach short mp4 of it running but no luck)
