More paint updates…. Painted all the globe valves and a few “extras”

Looks wicked in my eyes.

I put a whistle warning valve on the whistle.  When the whistle is cold, I can open the valve just slightly and warm up the whistle without it splashing and blowing water everywhere. Once it’s warm, I open the valve fully. Works well!

Looks good, yes there sounds like there's a knock somewhere.

Probably need a new crank arm and crank pin… will have to phone Stuart.

Wouldn't stress too much over it yet.

That turned out beautiful if for some reason you decide you don't like it I'll take it!!!

Well thank you. The blue really looked cooler than I expected it to.

Spent about 5 hours tonight repainting this plant and the accessories so they all match. I couldn’t stand that horrible yellow paint anymore.

Was quite a bit of work but got it done. The glossy paint really to me looks beautiful and Blue is my favorite color.  I did the fly wheel a dark blue with the rest a baby blue.

I hope you guys like it.

I’m letting it fully cure for 24-48 hours before I run it. [attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4][attachimg=5]
