• OMG ... What immaculate timing for the arrival of that "new" addition to your Buckman collection!
  
  Do you have any corks small enough for that one?

  Should have a cork small enough, but will need to find a really small burner... might just use a beeswax tea light that I have for my Wilesco D2...

• Kids are all finally in bed, time to play 
  
  Looks like my beeswax tea light is too big for the little guy...
  
  Standing between my “Jenny Wren” and the “Young America”. Funnel from Philcraft works good in it, and looks like I’ll have to try the burner from my “Lilliput” (Jenny Wren’s burner steps up to fit in the base)

  Well, we have another good runner. A little wobble... out of round wooden pulley probably didn’t help. Doesn’t take much heat to get this one going 
  
  I tried to blow the safety cork out on this one, bet the pressure leaks out around the engine and the cork swells. I pulled it out at 5:12 and put it in slow motion, roughly half the water came out with it and the cork shot about 5 feet out of my hand

• Gave this pair a run... The big one is quite “throaty” had to stop it a few times so you could hear (or not hear) how silent the smaller one is.
  
  The weighted SV was not heavy enough to keep it steam tight and the other one is missing, so more corks were used. On the big one a previous owner tapped the cork hole and added a decorative plug
