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!

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 :-)
