Title: A Doll 354/4
Post by: Nuvolari on October 01, 2021, 02:13:55 pm
… a final finish of restoring a Doll 354/4.
The main restoration was already done in 2019, but last week the last missing part arrived, the chimney.
The engine was in a very sad state when it arrived in 2019.

The nikkel ring between burner house and boiler was broken and a lot of other stuf needed attention.
This was not an easy restoration but the result is satisfying.

All that lasted was to present the engine in a video, enjoy…

Super, Danny, and very pleasing to see that I am not the only one who is fumbling with the governor belt while the engine is running...! ;)
