Very nice find Jim!

You might want to take care of the sight glass leak before your firebox starts rusting.

Thanks, I did tighten the retaining ring nut which should cure that problem.

Beautiful engine, Jim! Thanks for the video. Liked the music, too! I've got an older 55, but it needs some attention.

Very nice runner - you can't find them in Switzerland.
They look very strong and sturdy.
Congrats,
Arnold

A very nice engine indeed.

I had one in the past that has since been passed on to another member.   Even though it was in very good condition 

it did not compare.

Thanks, Bruce, yes, it seems to be a real winner especially at half price!
