    Me again. Love the wood as fuel rather than gas like a lot of the builders use. Best steam engine I’ve seen on here. Looks and sounds real efficient. You sir, are not only a craftsman, but an artist.

    In the UK, many of the previously axed lines are being brought back into use or bought by charities and opened up as steam railways. There are hundreds of locos being restored. The age of steam is not dead..at least not here 🇬🇧👍

    Love it. I use to restore model T’s and old stationary farm engines with my son when he was 6 years old until he went off to college. We always meant to restore a steam engine but never had the opportunity. He is 39 now, and an electrical engineer with a PhD. Had chosen to work with high school kids and taught robotics and electronics before becoming a superintendent. I always believed his early start with mechanical fun gave him the foundation. Love your dedication and talent.

    From a retired pipefitter in England, much respect. That looks like screwed barrel pipework, over there NPT threads. We used BSP, it was always a problem trying to find conversion fittings if we had to hook up to American equipment. And why did he build this? Simple, because he could. Superb stuff.
