Very nice Chris.

Congratulations.

I think it will only get better as you run it in. That was my experience with my boat from Tony.

It's a steam tractor like a Bryan, so not a traction engine. Yes it's a Pufango.
Still undecided on whether to paint. The bonnet is very shiny so I suspect  rust resistance.

Cool to see one of these in action  :)


Will you paint it, or leave in "raw"?

Looks and runs good Chris, is this one of the Pufango traction engines?

Fired it up. At first not much go, but oiling and setting it, started to go well. Needs some tuning. I think a spring would work better on the trunnion than a rubber hose. 75% Alcohol works best. Mamod burner works fantastic.
