• Finalized touches with my favorite color on the plant… deep naval blue.
  
  To me, looks best.
  
  Here’s some photos and a movie clip:

• Bonjour,
  
  Great singing steam plant indeed ! And useful in case of power outage 
  
  Sorry if I already asked this question, how do you lubricate the cylinder ? I don't see any oil lubricator and even if wet steam is lubricant, it is worth injecting a little oil into the cylinder, isn't it ?

  I put a few drops on the slide valve every 5 minutes during its run which puts oil into cylinder.

• Nice color!  What brand is it?  Is it a stock color or did you mix your own?

  It’s a mixture of different manufacturers, but the entire thing is custom built.
  
  The engine is a PM research #3.  The boiler is by Jensen steam engines. Both are still around.   
  
  The color is a dark blue enamel paint.
