Thank you for your nice words Jurgen, Jan and Ben! I'm glad that you enjoyed watching this nice old engine running.

Yes Ben, I have seen those replica Weeden governors on eBay too. I'm pretty sure that's what is on my #14. Seems like they're selling for around $11 - $12 so it might be an affordable mod to make a Wilesco or Jensen more unique.

Great video, I was watching the close up view of the Weeden fly ball governor spinning, I have often thought of fitting a Weeden governor on a Wilesco or Jensen! Even though the balls do not swing out and Wilesco/Jensen do...one could make the argument that the Weeden look closer to scale and look quite nice as they spin!...possibly a bit smoother running as well as they do not flop around. I think I saw someone offer reproduction Weeden governors on eBay at one time. Thanks for sharing!
