The postman came today - and had a parcel for me!!!
A very nice Schoenner Vertical and a Basset Lowke Live Steam Loko.
Right after taking out off the Box I decided to bring the Schoenner
first to live. There where some small issues but nothing really bad.
Here is the video of the first run and it is a smooth runner. The
Burner has 2 mushroom heads and that is def. too much of fire - so I
replaced one with a .44 Magn. case that fitted perfectly. Enjoy,
Arnold

Just looked at it.
The day could not end more beautifully.
Couldn't this postmann also come by my house once or twice?

I was going to say the same thing! Lately, my postman just brings me bills.

Lovely engine!

That is exceedingly nice and a fine runner as well. I always admire a gear driven water pump.
Very nice Schoenner Arnold,
Congratulations on another great addition to your collection.
Bruce, that runs like a fine old watch...mesmerizing gear action!!

Wonderful engine. Wish I still had mine which was identical but was sold some 21 years ago. I like the painted "wood" lagging of the cylinder.
A beauty in great condition.
Another great addition to your marvelous collection!
Looking forward to seeing the BL Loco!
