Beautiful job of it Erik, you have brass polishing down to an art!!

I liked your shrink tube fitting to the exhaust, that is such useful stuff!

Great job Erik.

Very impressive engine.

I need one for my collection.

Hope it's as good as yours.

Thanks guys, 've kept this engine totaly original (as one of the few originals in my collection )
I've thought about repainting the firebox, but since the rest is original, I figured I'd better keep it like this.
