Does this one seem appropriate?
It is a PM setup - #1 engine, vertical
boiler, and feed pump. I did not build
it. I've steamed it up several times,
so it is a runner...

Please excuse the dust - I am currently
between cameras and it is an old photo
from the sale.

Very appropriate Wayne!

I liked that one so much that I rememberer bidding on it

I closed my eyes and bid. I was astonished that I
was hi-bidder. $500 was the most I've ever spent,
for me a mind-bending amount for a hobby. It is
almost identical to the one pictured on the cover
of the catalog. Allen-head bolts everywhere sealed
the deal. They are the right way to go, demonstrating
the mindset of the builder. On the other hand, he was
a glutton for O-rings...if one is good, three is better.
P.I.T.A. but removable.

Good luck,
Wayne

Wayne,
That's a great setup.
What psi do you run it at?
Does it have good grunt?

I am fascinated with functional engines and mobiles. So I try to have my table saws actually cut (balsa or paper), drills actually drill, grinders grind, etc.

I suspect your pmr would easily *cut* (thinking of Forged in Fire TV).
