I had time to play with my Radiguet today, finally with live steam.
It is always a different story than with compressed air.
There are some drops at the water pump, but mainly everything is tight.
I did not used coal - inside the house it is much better using the gas burner.
Enjoy, Arnold

Oh my , how wonderful, I am lost at which feature I like most...must be the plant in total. The flywheel is especially nice to view in motion. Thanks for showing us.
That is a nice old engine. I like running on gas, clean and fun to regulate. I think the bevel drive governor is my favorite detail.
dang, what a sweet runner...hang on to that one!!
