Great video, I was watching the close up view of the Weeden fly ball governor spinning, I have often thought of fitting a Weeden governor on a Wilesco or Jensen! Even though the balls do not swing out and Wilesco/Jensen do...one could make the argument that the Weeden look closer to scale and look quite nice as they spin!...possibly a bit smoother running as well as they do not flop around. I think I saw someone offer reproduction Weeden governors on eBay at one time. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your nice words Jurgen, Jan and Ben! I'm glad that you enjoyed watching this nice old engine running.

Yes Ben, I have seen those replica Weeden governors on eBay too. I'm pretty sure that's what is on my #14. Seems like they're selling for around $11 - $12 so it might be an affordable mod to make a Wilesco or Jensen more unique.
