Thanks Kev, if I fully restored it, it would just be another fully restored vintage Renown engine with no story. Hope you're enjoying your Summer mate - Cheers Jim

That's an amazing engine Jim. I love the fact that the base and boiler have not been restored. The windmill and water pump are marvelous additions. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Nobby

A lovely old engine Jim 👍👍👍 We hardly ever see Renowns over here so to see one run is a real treat. Cheers, Alan.

A local in my area also happens to have a Renown he is gonna give to me, when the solder that's over the check valve is dealt with

That's pretty cool to receive.....look after it as that's a real piece of Australian history. Love to see a vid of it running when you get it - Cheers Jim

@@SteamEngines-Jim indeed, but it's not the first piece of australian History i've the pleasure to receive or have nearby, On a family farm we have an old abandoned Wilcox and Badock water tube boiler with a chimney still attached and it's steam engines
