Good score, Doug!

My Wilson steam engine arrived from Canada today.  It was very well packed, with four inches of dense foam on all sides, as well as top and bottom.  It came with a few years of dirt and grunge, but turned over so smoothly that I decided to go directly to a trial run on steam, rather than a pre-trial air run.  It runs beautifully, with no knocks or noises, and runs quite well from 2.5 psi to as little as 1 psi.  I'm very pleased with this engine, and may try to find room to bring it to Cabin Fever in a couple of weeks.
