Top mod. Boiler tubes make a big difference to steam make up.
The exhaust is spot on too.
This combination would make a great boat engine.

Geoff...only you could take a great design and make it a whole lot better.  

I really like what you have done...like modding a car to get 2X the horsepower, absolutely awesome !!!

Thanks Guys !    It may not be all that , and if i were to do it again , would i do it differently ? Yes . But time invested , has been maxed out .
So , it is what it is , and i`m happy with it as a novelty item with good play factor .
Its time to move on to the next job .
