steam engine with 40 mm bore

That's mighty impressive, Michael!   Those bulbs really do put a load on that engine, don't they?!

Interesting!   It does give the engine a great chuff sound when its under load.

That's a fascinating video, Michael. Gives some idea of why dynamic braking works so well!

Excellent  I have had a lot of fun applying different electrical loads to my IC engines

The weather was very nice today. 24 degrees Celsius or about 74 F.
It was perfect for a first test with steam.
Everything went well, there were still a few leaks here and there, but we had fun.

What a wonderful steam-up!   I love your whistle, and the whistle operator was the star of the show!  Must have been a fun day! 

Thanks for sharing it with us.
