thanks for taking the effort & showing us some really informative information Rich, very interesting.

I forgot to look for that #60 in my magazine, darn it! I'm glad you are finding my info useful enough to reference :-)
I'm heading to Texas now and I have a #20 waiting for me that needs lots of love. I believe it's early one, as it has a Bayonet PV with steam line and Bayonet Whistle with screw knob. I'm near positive it should have a brass lamp base but I'm unlikely to find a replacement. The PV & Whistle will be poor reproductions but at least I was able to find/buy them. Beggers can't be choosers!

Great stuff Rich ..... thanks for digging that old info up and sharing it with us all!!!

Thanks Charlie, I have to say I am very happy / excited to have all these items that tie together. I can't believe I found that Youth's Companion edition on eBay... crazy luck. Actually the whole setup is pretty special, at least to me they are. I can just put my 10 year old self back in 1916 doing anything I could to get that engine and its accessories!
@Weedensteam / Frank posted on the site a image of my Big Giant box - not sure if he links to videos? Frank if you do, you are more than welcome to post/link it.

Awesome job.
It would be great if @Weedensteam would add this to the weedensteam.com website.
I really enjoyed your video.

Hope you like this, I did a bit of hunting to get all these items together. I think I got pretty darn lucky :-)
