Be a massive job, but have you thought of lagging those couple of miles of PMR piping?
I use Keith Appleton's method....be warned it gives your fingers RSI after awhile!

I could, but I like the brass. I could’ve saved about $750 dollars U.S., by using copper pipework like Keith Appleton, but I elected for
Brass pipes.   PMR charged an arm and a leg for the pieces especially speciality pieces, and it adds up FAST!

Travis, that is getting to be one "Busy" plant..."love it"

Thanks, Bruce.  Yeah, a lot is going on.  Took a lot of thought to get everything fitting right.  Didn’t originally plan for so much on it but it worked out.  Still have room for a dynamo connected up to the Lineshaft.  Hmm…

Continually adding more things to my plant.  This weekend added a lineshaft from some spare parts I got from Charlie. The stanchions he gave me along with the rod, which I cut down to size, and found some pulleys online in which I soldered to the shaft rod.

It works very good!   Demo below:
