Very nicely done - careful that the steam bug doesn't catch you.  Wasn't that long ago I started off just wanting to repair a Empire B35 Turbine steam engine.   I swear steam engines are like Star Trek's Tribbles.  I certainly have "Trouble with Steam Engines"... LOL

No one ever told me these little engines can be so mesmerizing LoL! I’ve already got my eye on a couple more engines on eBay, don’t tell my wife! But next to Fly fishing and RC planes this hobby takes the cake for most relaxing fun I’ve had. Here is a little video running her today, don’t mind my homemade smoke stack LoL,  cheers from Washington state.
