  Haha, I am not allowed to restore any steam engines till I "restore" the house... which isn't going so well with a 5 month old baby

• Awesome Nick!
  
  Have you tested it on air?
  
  How about a video. The pics are just a teaser. 🤠

• Thanks Charlie, have not tested it as it's missing the overflow plug on the boiler end. You can see a shiny new replacement in the picture from Kevin. Still undecided about how far to go with restoring this one. I would like to try soaking the paint in Ballistol to see if it gets its color back. I would likely polish all of the bare brass/copper, and let it dull with age.
