Thank you for the info I definitely don't want it to be turned into a lamp lol id like it to go to someone who will take care of it

I think it fairly safe to assume that anyone on this Forum would certainly be interested in properly maintaining that beautiful machine!

It's impossible to know if all the parts are inside to allow it to run on steam or compressed air. Some members of this forum are more than capable and willing to work on engines and could evaluate if it needs anything to be a running engine. If your intent is for it to grace a shelf, it certainly does that already! Just don't turn it into a lamp please haha!

That is really some fine engine you have there!!!

Oh yeah and BTW .........WELCOME to the Forum.
