Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 11:34 pm Post subject: Bowman 410 in action
Hey guys,
This is my 410 on its first run post restoration......it ran absolutely brilliantly, in the first section of the video it runs solo on two wicks. Once I attached the brake van I used the third wick, and it just went absolute hell for leather.....ran for a good 25 minutes, and when I blew out the burner there was still water in the boiler. I'm absolutely chuffed to bits!!!!
The video won't win any Oscars, but here it is, in bad light with a hand held camera.....note the sound of the single oscillating engine at the end!
