Wonderful videos, amazing steam plant,  every steamer should have one.
That boiler is amazing.  What is its capacity?  I love those in boiler
cartridge heaters like in the Jensen 25 and Weeden National Playthings
engines.

  I do have a question regarding the water ram/pump and the reservoir
setup.  Your reservoir looks realistic enough but I'm wondering whether
the height improves the action of the ram/pump.  I have a Doll that will
pump ok from a low reservoir if I slowly turn it over by hand.  Running it
at speed I get nada.  I will try raising the reservoir and steaming at a
slower speed as is advised in the video.  I have hopes.  I added a video
link to a quick run so you can see exactly the Doll ram/pump setup. 



Thanks for the great video,
Wayne
