For the last six months there has been intermittent after hours work going on in our offices at school (new faster CAT cable) and the majority of my engines have been boxed up out of sight to keep them from getting "lost" so to speak. Now that the work if finally done I have been unboxing them and placing them back on the bookshelf where they normally reside. Among them was the Poppin which I built several years ago now. It needed a good clean up and polishing as well as some tweaking on the timing so it will again run in either direction. That was kind of a mini-project for today as well as working on the Pearl. This is still one of my favorite engines, just wish it wasn't quite so delicate as far as the valve mechanism. In any event, after a good clean up and resetting the timing, it was good to see it running well again so I took a short video.
Cheers,
Bill
