The KMV had no problem at all with the Baker's Fan.
I like the way you added the steam valve to it.
Thanks Jim, great video as always.

Neat set up, and a fine show Jim. Thanks for sharing!

Tommy i think the valve is original from KMV?
At least these and the SS Chinese fish-tank valves are amongst his "extras".

Jim, there does seem to be an original deeper gelfuel burner available there as well ;)

Well I'll be. I like the options, going to have to look into these.
Sorry Jim, your post, great video.

Very nice. KMV makes some good looking and sturdy engines. I especially like that he does custom builds.

Thanks Jan, yep that valve was already there.

The deeper gelfuel tray (either bought or made) is a must have using Gel (which is new to me) I must say...I really like gel!

Thanks very nicely constructed these KMV and relatively cheap. No wonder they are a popular engine.
