Nick,
It's a screened in porch to keep out the state birds. ;)
I don't think you'd have a problem with the state bird today... ;) :D
I've opened the windows in mine and have it down to about -8F right now, plan to run 3 TTB's at once...

My steam challenge to Nick
Chris @CBWho, is your porch open or enclosed? Can't tell if those are windows or not... I was going to steal your idea instead of dragging everything outside, but my thermometers have been out on my porch for a good 15 minutes and are still showing +20 degrees. Must be losing a lot of heat from my house! :D
I'll have to open the porch windows to drop the temp... The things we do when boredom strikes in the middle of the winter...

Great video Chris, love the title too :)
Looks like we will get even colder from 2am-4am... I have portable camera lights...

A great show Nick!
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Charlie :) must be about 50° warmer there?

Nice to see all the steam from the #50, been quite awhile since i had a sub zero steam up! ;D
I believe it was about -23°C to -24°C

Very sweet engine. Do all model 50s have the 3 port hole sight glasses?
I want one but I cry at the sight of the price. Looks very powerful. :)
Earlier style had tube sight glass, my 3 window has a flat boiler end, later ones have a convex boiler end.
I believe they are sold as 1/10 HP
I only paid $350 for my other 50 ;) But had to find it fast before anyone else and drive to Oklahoma! :D :D When I bought it, the price tag of $100 was still on the base, so who knows how cheap the previous owner got it at the estate sale... I hope to have that one up and going for the LeSueur show...

Producing all that steam, you're going to need to do a bit of extra snow shoveling down wind, as I'm sure it recrystallized and fell out of the air within a very short distance! ;c)
Haha, my thermometer and hygrometer both had ice on them from the exhaust
