Weeden #3 run
« on: March 27, 2021, 12:46:05 pm »
  Well, I made a better video for the
run of my Weeden #3.  It was really
filthy to start.  The top parts were
just set in.  I've added a before
photo and the you tube link.  I hope
you enjoy it.  Please ignore the
hand at the start.



Thanks, Wayne

A neat looking little engine, and a nice runner on top!

Don´t think i´ve ever seen one of these fired up, thanks for sharing Wayne.
Cheers

That looks really nice Wayne, runs very well too. No dribbling or spraying like some tend to do.
I also watched your other video of the KJ Miller Jr. Engineer on steam from its own boiler.
That's the first time I have ever seen that done. Everyone else uses steam from another source
or air.
Thanks for sharing these with us.

New link minus...THE HAND!



I don't know how it got into the original
video, and I had to redo it several
times before it loaded w/o the hand.
It is a puzzlement.

Such a nice centenarian, small footprint...

Looks good, runs good, sounds good, always good.

Some of those early Weeden engines are definitely really sweet ..... your #3 being one such example!
