Here are pictures below.

I will post more pictures of the Clarkson as I get the clean up tackled.

The Empire will be available for purchase after I test it.

Thank you for showing the video. The turbine is running really well. You will get the leak at the water sight glass sealed. What about the power transmission of the turbine? Turbines are known to run at a high speed, but have less power compared to the piston steam engines.
