Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I surely do know how to PM, I LOVE forums and friendly ones like this one seems to be to newbies.  I sent one to "Empire man 202" as I am working on an Empire for myself (payment for getting this one working for my brother).  I am not afraid of spending $$$, which is why I called up Jensen but that was before I found this place.  Needless to say, I been doing a lot of Google'ing in the last few days.

Before your posting I did find some posts by "St Paul Steam" and his YouTubes.  I watched a number of them - I wished in his restore videos he had more of the "tear down" process.  As I mention in my Empire post, I simply don't know what I am missing or what used to be there.  Until two days ago, I never seen Engines like these!

Do you think I should PM "St Paul Steam" or wait until he sees my post?  I been really excited finding this forum and fear I might be posting too much.  Heck, I even sent a $25.00 donation to "RedRyder".  Can't be a freeloader on a super-duper Ad-Free Site!

Thank you for your thoughts/advice!
