It's been a bad weekend folks. Shot videos all day Friday and spent all day yesterday and today trying
to load them into my PC to load onto You Tube. Something changed and I can't figure it out so just pics.
I hope.


First is my humble Empire collection.

Next is two large water toys with smaller ones for comparison.

Those two Mamods.

Finally, my unicorn. A little story here. I have been looking for this model a very long time, even passed
on a few Jensen #50s. Two years ago I found it and on all places, eBay over here. I won it and posted a few
pictures of the boiler which had a loose stem under the dome. See pics below.

After that got squared away I proceeded to clean everything and it all went well until I washed the stack.
I was only using warm water with Dawn regular dish soap and my bare hand. I think the heat from the flue
over the years had something to do with it but all and I mean all of the paint came off. I was holding the
shiniest chimney I ever saw, sorry no pics of that(too mad). So that, I had to repaint with the heat paint.
So what is my unicorn, it's a Doll and it's kind of rare, and it's a poppet valve.
Here is a couple of pictures. These I took last year outside on an overcast day, better light.
When I do figure out how to load the videos I'll put them in the video section. This thing runs like it looks.
One thing to note this engine was complete, I have the burner and it works, with no leaks, and the original
governor, the one in the pictures is from Bing. I like the looks of it and fit right on.
