That is a nice looking/running engine.
Is it as large as it looks ?
It looks big.

Well, it is 5" bore, so pretty big!
Have to do some finishing work and the fire box next.
But it was good to see it run with essentially no goofing around.

I like that scale.

It's for a customer/friend.

Thanx, reminds me of a water pump.
That’s a great scale! Will the pump move water when completed? Is there a water jacket for the “cold” end?
Nice engine, congratulations on a good runner!

Yes.
For the first run I disconnected the pump.
But to have real efficiency the cold side needs to be cooled by the water it pumps through the cold side water jacket.
