The oilers look great Dan.

Did you turn them on a lathe?

What is the thread size for these?

Nice work!

OK, so now I've seen a glimpse of heaven... steam heaven.

I've got what I consider to be a big Carette 677 (the 5 variant) but your 7 variant would tower of  it.  So glad you rescued it. 

687/5 is a gem, the 143/3 too.

Thanks Dan!

A great restoration Dan.

I get so excited when one of my engines runs for the first time.

I always enjoy viewing your great collection.

Thank you for participating in GPU 2020. 🤠

Dan, Dan, Dan...every time I see your collection it just BLOWS MY MIND man. That huge Carette makes my heart race and my pants fit funny. I could spend weeks just looking at one shelf.

A wholly unbelievable amount of WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWW Factor there Dan .... but I'll make my request easy on ya .... just run for us whichever engines that you most enjoy running!

Welcome, Dan!  Thanks for showing at our first annual Global Power-Up.


It is amazing to see that a very large Doll like the 512/3 can be so dwarfed by the tall Carette...!!!
