« on: May 29, 2019, 05:13:46 pm »
Weeden #17 restoration All done. Once again don't really like the colors but wanted to stay as close to original as possible. The base plate was in real bad shape but came out ok . The little spots where the brass boiler meets the red vents for the burner is not paint its little dents where its put together I could not get them out . Got to more of these guys to do

Somehow I missed this thread.

You did a very nice job on this restoration Stewart.

Have you steamed it yet?

Do you have the original burner?

I see that you have the reversing lever (which is often missing).

Nice work ... considering what you started out with, that now looks like a brand new engine!
