Easter Monday steamingsAs It was Easter Monday I decided to fire up a couple of engines.
The first was my 1929-1935 Meccano engine, Which is complete execpt for the handle on the reverse lever
The second was my Bing verticle from about 1924-32. This has a replacement chimney and sight glass but otherwise steams well. I hope to get my larger Bing into steam soon.

Thanks for the videos!  I liked the Bing.
If my variac comes today, I'll fire up my Jensen 25 to test it out. I'll post a video in here, so lets hope it comes.

I did not have a steaming today as we had the family round for dinner, so here is one from Saturday.

Nae, mate. I've still got my "Breadboard", single-(plywood)board computer taking up my usable bench space.
Just about done with it, though.
Also had to service a fan in the server, and that thing is an adventure to disinter for servicing...
On those Meccano engines. Is the boiler shrouded in thinner sheet?

and all over Easter......
yes. 1st of all here's a home made Wobbler ,a friend built.
(my 3 inch model boiler's providing the steam for both engines) he didn't have a suitable boiler.
another he made- see the 3/4" bore, slide valve thumping away in background
