Are you trying to corner the market on 201's??  
At least now you have a burner to copy.

Then, that's 2 too many - please send me one & stop hogging all the PW 201's!    
Very nice indeed, even with the probable replacement firebox & I like the wooden base, showing it off to perfection.
Are we going to find out if it runs soon? (I know, I'm very impatient!       )

3 of them!
If you like you can send this one to me and I will be more than happy to shine the boiler right up FOC for you.



























It may take me a year or two though

Nice job, good paintwork on the pipes.
Is that the original burner?

Is the firebox copper?
If it is that part may not be original.
Still a nice rare engine though.

Still looks good on the engines, I bet you won't even see it when you would paint it red.
