Very nice Moose, I thought mine was bad for leaking water and steam everywhere but watching yours it seems normal.

Oh what a bargain that turned out to be Odilon. Box as well mate.
Runs like a charm. I bet that's capable of running a few accessories. I look forward to seeing it working hard. |

Congratulations, Moose, that's a nice one! A pity it doesn't have a main steam valve - and yet, you have managed to "tame" it.
Actually, the cylinder/slide-valve haousing combination reminds me a bit of your EPD. the pictures seem to indicate it is one cast housing and not an extra valve housing soldered to the cylinder. Am I right? Cheers!!!!!!!! |

Hi Thomas,
My thoughts exactly - it is a little EPD-ish, and the sound is quite similar. However, the valve is in a separate valve block on this one, with a gasket to the cyinder. Also the EPD has a piston valve, the Cyldon has a D type slide valve, held onto the valveports by steam pressure. But they are very similar in scale and layout. |

Lovely engine Moose. Thanks for the video.
It's as old as me. They don't build them like they used to.
