Weeden Cat. No. 648
« on: April 19, 2019, 12:51:03 am »
I have had this Weeden for a while and after getting a safety valve it was
time to make a video. The paint is all original and so is the string turning
the Governor Flyball.

A very nice example Carl. 

And one of the attainable Weeden Engines I don't have. 

Thanks for sharing.

An electric 14, and a fine runner as well.

Weeden was such a prolific producer, and an early adopter of electric firing. A lot of interesting history in that company!
