I picked this engine up on e bay a couple weeks ago.  I must have been the first person to see the listing because it was a deal I could not pass up.  It was listed as "this engine has never been run"  which ended up being the absolute truth because the engine didn't run.  The valves were a disaster and there was .005 gap between the piston and the cylinder.   I reworked the valve and made a new piston with a gap of .0005   Now it is an engine worthy of any collection.

Very nice, Alan.

I agree. These beam engines run beautifully at slow "scale" speeds.

Thanks everybody.  Every now and then you get an engine just right and they really meet your expectations.  This is one of those times.
