Nice!

Good-looking job all-round. And, I think you should let it mature to a natural patina. Ma deux centimes.

Steam on!

Thanks Tim for your 2c mate :) appreciated.

You have done a tremendous job of tarting that brass beauty up, even providing some color contrast with the copper chuff pot ..... NICE!

Looking forward to seeing that beauty run!!!

Microcosm Vertical Single Cylinder Steam Engine Model 31

Had a lot of fun building a new plinth base for this engine as well as a chuff pot/condensate trap and some other modifications, enjoyed the woodworking and metalworking and making a lot of the parts on my lathe.
