Another enjoyable video of some very nice pieces 8) Felt like I was there in person. I liked the included footage of the chuff pot spitting everywhere and the phone message ;) :D
Thanks Nick, appreciate you looking and the comment :)

Yes Gil, its not a plant. These are orphans and its easy to build up a temporary 'plant' I've made them all modular so to speak.
How did you go on the East Coast with the storm that hit the US, were you far enough North to not be affected?
Hi Jim, August 4th out power went down 6 days as 70 mph winds, a couple tornadoes, and rain did it's job. 3 of 4 roads leaving our neighborhood were impassable from downed trees and power lines.
Right now we have a lot of rain overnight and through the next day from the remnants of Hurricane Laura. This is the one that hit the Lake Charles, Louisiana and Port Arthur, Texas areas as a category 4 storm with 150 mph winds at landfall. While we are getting the rain and a few thunder storms, the wind here today is quite gentle.

That's great to read Gil, so glad you didn't get hit hard again.

I love everything about that settup Jim, envious of that nice big 4" boiler.
Thanks for watching and the comment Bruce.

By the looks of things, I imagine it is designed to break down easily when you want to power other engines with the 4" MSM boiler.
Thanks for sharing another great video, Jim...!!!

I really love these engines, and do have one myself, but having two is obviously twice as nice. Having them symmetrically reversed so they are essentially a mirror image of each other is simply brilliant!!!
Thanks Daniel, they do make very nice model engines. I do like my Stuart boilers, but the MSM boiler is just so easy to use.

A great Aussie engine.
They must be a great buy for people in countries with a stronger dollar than ours.

That is a great setup Jim!
Those MSM engines are so nice. ;D
Cheers Philip.
