Great show Jim!

These do work impressively well on a model like that, thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Crikey , Now we're talking Jim , outstanding performance by the Centurion. Thanks for the video 😊👍

Crikeys is spot on!!!

Really happy that I plagiarized this St Paul Steam build Bruce and you were right mate this is going to be a most often used steam accessory.

The video didn't truly show the fan working at its best, the camera couldn't catch how smooth it was turning and actually showed it going in reverse and there was a bit of rolling shutter (a camera phenomenon) I dropped the fps up and down from 60 and 25 and it was still there.

Super impressed with the load it put on the engine, sounded so much better than a racing engine.
I am not the 1st to make a model Baker fan & you certainly won't be the last to make one. This is a model in your own right and its a "Bronzer!" This is all you Jim 😊👍

But those folks didn't help me :)

Its 'bonzer' (no 'r') most often used like "What a bloody bonzer mate"....but that's ok, this Aussieification is going to take some time, its a process just like the metrification....but its started  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
Lol...I wrote it without the "R" but spellcheck must have put it in at the last moment & I didnt notice. that's ahright !
(It may actually look lovely "bronzed") 😂

:)
