Sandmans Other Mersey Decided to fire up my other Mersey today as I plan to start getting down to cleaning up my backlog.
All I did was give all moving parts a good oiling and replaced the wicks with MF Steams super wick.
The engine went like a dream. I couldn't fault it in any way.
I was really lucky to get this one as I've not seen many with the gearing arrangement.

Runs really well Sandy!
I've not seen one like it either, but it's such a nice engine
Will look great when you've cleaned it up too!

What a superb runner Sandy
I get the distinct feeling I should get another Mersey for my collection now, I don't know why

...aye, a fine machine, Sandy! I like the insulation on the steam pipes - are they custom or factory installed?

The former owner put the insulation on Tom.
I think I'll leave it.
Just a cursory clean for this one.
I want to preserve it the way it is.

Your Mersey is a sweet little runner Sandy. I too like that insulation wrapping...might experiment with that myself.

Wonderful engine. The gear wheel looks very Bowman-like.

looks really good Sandy.

That is nice
It is an unusual presentation & hopefully someone can enlighten you as to why. What a great first run - lovely!
