A 1880 Merlin Steam Locomobile - Top Valve Gear

Tonight, Alex purchased a Merlin Locomobile built for the Paris Expo in 1880. Later it was bought by Henry Ford and displayed at the Henry Ford Museum. We also test out if a Wilesco engine will burn coal!

Thanks for making these videos. Love watching them Are brass plated(?) boilers like this common on equipment of the period, or is this engine unique?
