Thanks Jim.
  I designed in in cad to resemble a Weeden to go with the Weeden boiler I'm fixing up. I have 8 other Weeden engines that are mostly all original. Have one more boiler which is in tough shape and a stand and flywheel which is for the electric model.

My original Weeden 14 is one of the slowest, steadiest running engines I have  ...  your nice clone seems no exception!

Thanks Bruce.
  As soon as I get the whistle and the pressure relief valve done I will steam her up and give her a go.

Nice work there Doc , I dare say you've got it running better than the original Weeden ever did , I like the cut out for the cross head guide....nice touch.

Very nice work! And a good slow runner   8)  looks like you’ve got it down to right around 30 rpm in the video.

Seeing how slow I can get my clone of a Weeden engine to run. This is the engine I degighed after a Weeden. I did get this engine to look some what like a Weeden engine. I drafted the engine up and I think it came out pretty good.
