G'day John....nice to see you back mate.

Yes, the 4" MSM won't have any problem with your Perseus. I have run three engines off mine with no problem.

Very nice Jim! Do you think a Perseus will run well with the MSM 4” boiler? I want to do a plant with those and a PM Research generator. I’m hoping to be able to work it hard and still keep up the steam pressure. I never had a center flue boiler and it looks a little small compared to what I’m used to.

Hi Jim, Fantastic set-up there!

I also love the sound of the OZ Steam Demon's chuff pot on the outboard end of an engine doing some real work.

Gil

Thanks Gil, hope you're settling into the new home well mate.

A very nice setup Jim , you have it all on the rotating plinth, I always like seeing an engine working & when you got that lovely Cotswold engine fired up and flowing through the Oz SD chuff pot ,it was superb !

Thanks Bruce appreciated mate.

Love that sound Jim! I found the chuff enhancer is a great attention getter at the shows.

I bet they are Nick, Geoff gave me a fair few enhancer inserts and they all have different tones.

I brought the extras along to show those interested, and made sure they all knew that they came from a man down under that called himself the Oz Steam Demon  :)  The Demon chuff pots/water tower and Trev’s battery were my most talked about items at the show  :)

I treasure all my Demon and Trev items....I talked to Trev's wife not so long ago. She misses him terribly and I also spoke to Demons son Matt and he's doing ok.

Cotswold Heritage Perseus Model Steam Engine + Baker Fan
Great to hear the Perseus working against the Baker Fan and the three differences in the stepped pulley on the Baker fan really make a difference in the engines  labor.
And always a pleasure hearing one of Ozsteam Demons Chuff Pots working!
