A very well-proportioned and thought out plant Bruce

I like the matching pulleys from engine to generator, the chromed gauge and the governor balls.

And I hope you have insurance on that one, I hear those windmills bring good money

By the way, I found myself looking into your shelves at 7:20 to see what you were hiding away

I know you've done a few of these double engine builds and some larger boilered plants, but have you ever thought of doing a double boiler plant? Or a stacked double boiler like some of the old German engines? (Krauss)

Bruce, that great looking Jensen steam setup. You do some nice work and
you have different ways of modifying the Jensen.

Bruce, I love your attention to detail where it really counts...the bearings and the cosmetic look to this dual plant are outstanding.  Your wood base is also furniture quality... a big overall WOW!
