Truly outstanding Chris! Another fine build for your collection. I enjoy all of your documentation and appreciate all the work that goes into not just building the engine but presenting it to us.

Thanks guys! Today is waiting for varnish to dry on the wood base, the poly stuff dries quick, but the wood has a thirsty spot that needed a few extra coats. I am getting ready to get it all assembled for final portraits/videos in the next day or so.

Thanks guys! I got the wood base finished, and things re-assembled for some final photos and videos. Below are some pictures, videos will be going up in the Showcase section shortly. Thanks all for following along and helping me out!

And a video of them watching it run:

The next project? I am going to switch over for now to work on the RC model of a Cat 340D excavator that I've been working on in the background, and get that one going before starting anything new. The original is a modern style diesel/hydraulic machine, my model uses small gearmotors and leadscrews to simulate the hydraulics, which are quite expensive and can be quite messy when a leak happens. I am running a build thread over on the RC Truck and Construction model forum, here:
https://rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=13632
After that, the next steam engine project I am planning is of a Mann 5 ton overtype steam lorry, based on the one out in Vancouver at the BC Discovery Center, which I have a few videos and photos of, plus information from some old books. If any of you happen to have photos/videos of that machine, PLEASE post them or email me with them, there is not a lot out there. I have begun drawing the frame of it up as a 3D CAD model in Fusion 360, will be continuing that this spring.
Again, thanks for following along!   :cheers:
