Thanks fellows.

Sorry about the typo error with reservoir. One lad was quick to point that out to me - along with music entering the video he thought to be late.
I guess you can't win them all.

Glad to finally see video of it running.  Is there any evidence that the governor actually works?

Hi John, a very nice video documentation of your new diorama. I do like this prasentation of a model engine with some surroundings very much.

John, after seeing the engine run last week, I can hear it every time I see a pic of it. You results are truly stunning.
