Steaming a Stuart Double 10V using a Jerry Rigging

• Today I wanted to steam my Double 10V by impulse so I jerry rigged it.    My Stuart boiler is still under repair but the Jensen boiler puts out plenty of power to run this engine.
  
  I also jerry rigged an oil catch, as seen.
  
  Steam test, before mounting to permanent board.

  It is a heat retardant/ insulator that Charlie gave me a long while ago.

• Bonjour Travis,
  
  The D10 is my preferred steam macine, it is always a pleasure for me to see one operating smoothly.
  
  My concern about it is its bad abililty to rust ==> how do you prevent yours from rusting ?
  
  Mines have a little nut on the cylinde head to onsert oil after each run :

  I really need to look into that, however on all my engines I usually put some oil into the cylinder bore; if they will be idle a long time.  I run them so frequently that this usually isn’t an issue.  But, I also realize this D10 is using cast iron not gun metal, thus probably need to invest in an air compressor.
  
  This D10 has an oiler installed.
