This Jensen #5 Steam Engine is under load running a Baker Fan and it makes it create a really nice working chuff sound with the engine doing some work. This was an electrically heated boiler that I converted over to be fired off a gas flame -

Home Made Steam Driven Trip Hammer doing some work flattening out 1.5mm and 3mm thick wire solder. This is fun steam driven accessory to use, a bit hard on the ears though!

Thanks Dave, much appreciated.

Thanks for the comment, my grandson is 10 and coming tomorrow and someone just gave me the idea of letting him use the hammers to flatten out some crumpled aluminium foil :)

Model Hit & Miss Engine Eachine/Microcosm M90 running a model Baker Fan.

G'day Ed, I like using the turps through one of those pipette things. I try my best these days to limit my skin exposure to all the nasties like thinners, brake cleaner etc etc. Some people have mentioned using thing wire like music wire to unclog blocked nozzles. I've never had any success with...

G'day Ed, so far I've never had a problem with the valve getting clogged but your hint of using the straw that comes with cans of cleaner type contents and that it fits down the valve is a good idea and double insurance that you'll get to use all the spray cans contents.

For me my method is just easier because the nozzle is cleaned immediately and put back loose inside the can lid. I have so many different cans being used often and from different mamufacturers and they all have different nozzle's (even same brands) it saves me having to hunt for the correct nozzle.

LOL you never know when things will come in handy, that's why its good to never throw anything away :)

Try it out, I'm sure you'll like it.

That would work, my idea works well for me because I have so many different cans with so many different spray caps and leaving them loose in the lid means I easily get the right spray cap for the right can and you're right (unlike what steamchook said) the cans nozzles don't get clogged.

No you haven't because the valve doesn't get clogged.

Thanks aRM
