•   I like my 4117-8 and it is very clean but
  could be better.  It is now a pretty good
  runner as this new engine from EBAY Germany
  works well.

    Anyway, I now have a running 4117-8 and need
  a proper steampipe with boiler fitting and
  safety valve. Right now, as you can see
  in the video, there is a regulator (not working)
  and plastic tubing to a stub of steampipe
  on the valve chest. The safety valve is a
  Jensen S/V and works well, but an original
  would be best. A smokestack and special
  cord would be nice, too, but that would be
  expensive, I'm sure.
  
    If anyone can help me I'd be grateful.
  
  Thanks,
  Wayne

• Hello Wayne - yes it is working - great
  I will keep my eyes open for the Safety valve and
  the Chimney - but the original cord/plug is very hard
  to find. The steam pipe goes from the steam chest
  directly to the boiler - there is no steam cock.
  Greetings, Arnold

• That is a cutie!
  
    One strange thing on mine.  The engine frame has
  two holes through which the crankshaft runs. the
  engine frame on mine must have been drilled by a
  worker who was distracted or drunk.  If you look
  at the crankshaft closely you will notice the
  right side is 1 or 2 millimeters lower than the
  left. Maybe it was made on a Monday.  Didn't I
  read once that some German factories have beer
  vending machines on their premises?  Go figure.
