😮👏👏👍👍 A real masterpiece. I add my personal ovation to Mark Wood: it's really rare, to see wheels with so close to real flanges, on a model, instead of the most, way too thick, even of a quite big gauge itself, like O gauge. May seem odd, to you, but this is the detail I've appreciate the most. Thumbs up again to you all👍👍

Eine schöne massive Eichenplatte liegt schon bereit. Wächst halt nicht von selber an die Anlage ☺. Die 'Papp'e hat für mich auch einen sentimentalen Wert, denn das ist wahrscheinlich die originale Montageplatte ab Werk Maxwell Hemmens, auf welcher die Maschine für den Versand im Versandkarton befestigt wurde.

Bonjour, A steam passionate and collector, I know what a beautiful plant is, and this one is one of the best I have ever seen, you are a lucky man to have it. Running at 8 PSI means well machined steam machine, it is also this is the threshold that I also apply to mine to judge them. If I had to mention one concern, it would be "Where is the whistle?" 😉 Amicalement, Raphaël

The normal working pressure will be about 40..50 psi. I just showed that the engine runs well at much lower pressures. Smooth running at 10 psi indicates a well working engine.

If I don’t do it soon enough, she will slow and sometimes stop until steam is rebuilt. Very frustrating. Appreciate your work on this. Please publish your results and let us know your source(s) for springs and etc.

Yes, the engine was completely dismantled for painting. The model was designed from very beginning like an Aster model, completely dismantable, with hidden screws wherever possible. The complex painting would be almost impossible to apply without this. Especially the lining, which was masterfully executed by Liz Marsden.
