Fired it up. At first not much go, but oiling and setting it, started to go well. Needs some tuning. I think a spring would work better on the trunnion than a rubber hose. 75% Alcohol works best. Mamod burner works fantastic.

Looks and runs good Chris, is this one of the Pufango traction engines?

Cool to see one of these in action
Will you paint it, or leave in "raw"?

It's a steam tractor like a Bryan, so not a traction engine. Yes it's a Pufango.
Still undecided on whether to paint. The bonnet is very shiny so I suspect rust resistance.

Very nice Chris.
Congratulations.
I think it will only get better as you run it in. That was my experience with my boat from Tony.
