That’s a very nice plant.

First steam of the new Wilesco D32, and it was no different than any new hobby, there is a learning curve for sure! And this is my very first steam video.

I've ordered a tripod so future videos should be on a stable platform with no more of the agricultural panning. There is a slight knocking under the flywheel/pump area, but I'm hoping that will quieten down once she has been run in.

All in all I am stoked with my first run of hopefully many on this lovely plant. I have now cleaned and oiled it, dried out the boiler, and removed the steam-oil/water mix from the lower tray and wiped it clean.

What a buzz!
