You have entered a whole new realm with this one Benny.

And you have a number of experts to help you getting this one running properly.

It looks like a fine engine, all right. A view from the other side would certainly be helpful, though.

Please make sure the next video is from the other side, preferably 3/4 view slight down angle as it looks to you on the bench. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, guys. I'll get some pics and better video up tomorrow hopefully. Just had a couple of hours to kill this evening since it rained

Nice to see you, Benny!

and...

your Vaughn running!

Please send me a few pictures pictures from the front, a 3/4 view of the other side/front, and a side view of the other side or post the pictures in this thread. I think everyone will enjoy them..

We are going to get you dialed in.

There is a speed control to slow it down. Also, make sure the governor weights aren't sticking and the governor shaft is well lubricated.

great to see it running!

Nice looking engine Benny and didn't seem to run all that bad - looks like between the hit and miss, steam, motorcycle and railroad engines you've got plenty to keep you busy!

Looks like a real beaut. Some detail photos would not go amiss.

Just a quick video shot with my phone while I edit the camera roll
Still a little adjustment needed I think as it seems to hit more than miss. Any suggestions are welcome as this is new to me. It got all out of whack in shipping and took me a minute to get adjusted to run
