I don't have any "before" pictures but this is what I ended up with. This engine started out greasy, squeaky, rusty, etc. Hope you enjoy.
Neat little Sipp there, well done!
...and welcome aboard from Scandinavia as well
Very nice and a warm welcome to the forum
Excellent work.
What all did you have to do to it?

Excellant restoration of a superb engine, and welcome to the forum. Will we get to see it under steam?

I took it apart, did some degreasing, a lot of sanding, glass beading and then paint. The lagging was all beat-up and dented so there was a lot of filing and then polishing.
I enjoy restoring these things and also building them. I have another larger engine I'm restoring right now and I will post a pic of it when I'm done.
Very nice indeed!
And a big WELCOME to the Forum!!!
I especially like the big pulley wheel that your Sipp wears. Wish any of mine were wearing such a fine accouterment.
A BIG Welcome Aboard, Tommy...!!!

Great looking restoration on your Sipp engine!
Sipps are among my favorites.

Have you had it running on steam?
Nice job you did on the little engine.
