I am humbled by your attention to detail. The little extras that add to the whole. Like the screen lattice in the base openings - the very 19th century striping and colors selections.
You know your stuff.....! I 'll maybe close to this level in about 20 years or so. Great, just in time to my funeral Urn!!!

Video??!? HA! It's going to take a bit to get this sucker running. I would bet it hasn't been fired in over 50 years, certainly not in my lifetime or I would have remembered it.

Evramsing,
You workmanship indicates:
A large collection?
A love to restore one at a time and then they move on?
Great at restoration but new to steam?
I have jumped into the pool only in the last few weeks and now have three engines with one to go in an old boat in need of restoration( that I acquired to day as well...
 -OK I will rest now.......
I am looking forward to trying to do a Mooseman or Atticman homage with my rendition of a Bowman!!

Collection of two. I also have a Wilesco D-10 that I got for Christmas around 1960. I just seem to have a thing for old stuff. Over the years I've restored a 1951 Land Rover (body-off, complete down to the wiring harness), a mid-50's Geary 18 sailboat, and a 1973 Jaguar XJ6.
I'm currently working on a 1967 MGB-GT, an old Moped, and an 1895 Victorian house on the Historic Register. My wife made me give up the 1965 C-Class Scow (20ft long, 7.5ft abeam, 30ft mast, 17ft boom, drawing 3" of water with the boards up). I currently drive a 1984 BMW 633Csi to work every day.
Regarding the detail, it's rather fun figuring out what things are supposed to look like. In my next life I'd like to be an architectural archeologist (or a fresh-water otter, I haven't decided yet).

As for the archaeologist or otter- you ARE in the right place for either.
I had a few BMW's - the 6 series was always a sweet car - That predecessor- the 3.0 Alpina -in that soft white was a dream fro a long time... Live in a 1912 old Portland style home myself.. pretty close in to down town. Yep - they like attention!!
Well it has been a busy weekend , so two new machines should be here soon- a Jensen 25 and a new (- 1985 never run...) Marine engine for the project boat I just bought today.... I will trying to restore it to a Bowman -Like design with some artistic license towards our NW area- that will unfold later.
I really like those old English pond yacht steam run-abouts... I will even try my hand at RC for the rudder and reverse on the engine.
Luck will be needed
Ciao

| Hi. I found your thread by accident and could resist showing my recently restored Schoenner engine. I am sure the similarities with the horizontal version are obvious. Have a look at http://www.considerateboater.com/steam.htm [/img] |
