I have made all my changes. Steam pipes are lagged so I have less of a chance to burn myself. The Worthington steam pump fits nicely next to the boiler. Hand pump works well too. I am ready to take it to the engine shows after the Wednesday hydro of the boiler. First show in two weeks.

Fantastic! - Thank You! But what about the horn and whistle?

Remember, the steam that blows the whistle will never turn the wheel. Actually I forgot to blow the whistle.

Beautiful work! Congratulations!

Exceptional work there, Brad! The steam pump is a classic, and fun to watch.
I've got a 504 kit that I will put together someday. Thanks for the video!

Love all the valves and fittings! I have been thinking through how to make a boiler for running many engines, what kind of tubing is that between the plant and the engine?
-
1/4" piping and tapered fittings from PM Research.

Brad:
Your Steam Plant really turned out great.
First Class Work!
