Those look fabulous Jo, but if that is your dining table, where did you hide all the castings, etc usually residing there? :thinking:

Thanks Bill  :)

I have made a bit of space just in case father Xmas turns up and needs some space for some casting set presents  ;)

I wouldn't like him to think I already have more than enough or  :o 'spare' casting sets   :paranoia:

I ran the 5A (and posted the video) earlier this week but my compressor was really struggling so there is no chance of it managing to provide the air required by the Swan  :ShakeHead:

You need a boiler then run it with some good old mucky oily smelly steam   :stir:

Happy Christmas  :)

Very nice engines, Jo. I do like the color much more than the old standby colors.

I gather that you like to have more than one project going. And your stove can sense that...

Merry Christmas!

Nice looking pair of engines Jo!
They turned out very nice, the shot with the triple in the background really gives one an idea of their size.

What size do you have now Jo?  Tank size to clarify.

No tank?  I.e. run tank to pressure and let it blow down?
