This is my second steam build. It's far from being ready for final photos but at least I know it runs. There are a lot of small issues to fix and finishing off to do, but I'm very happy (and surprised) that it ran on the first attempt.

Well, I'm calling it finished. :D
Overall I'm pretty happy with the result.

Very pretty - looks like you mixed and matched Gerry's plans and some of my metric alterations - plus a whole bunch of your own interpretation which ended with a very fine model - well done.

Love the flywheel, control valve, wooden barrel insulation and the bolted frame - gorgeous.

Regards, Ken I
 
Thanks SS, Ken & phred.
Was that you I stole the metric version from Ken? Thanks for your contribution. :D
