I like the way everybody uses those plastic drums for the water supply 🙃. That’s one thing not period but I guess they are more leak resistant! Anyway nice engine. I like the potable engines.

Just a little history and trivia on that old sawmill, it was originally located in Coneto, N.C. located on NC 42 E in Edgecombe county. If you have ever heard of Parker's Bar-B-Que in Wilson, N.C., this is the sawmill that was used to saw the lumber use to construct those buildings that house the restaurant today.

[@PowerSeed]

Great video! Thanks! Do you have date of manufacture for that steam engine?

[@isobar5857]

Is that boiler missing a pressure gauge ?

[@NEOATHS]

It is there, look straight down below the whistle, it is a thing gauge and you can see the pigtail for it.

[@merlemorrison482]

[@NEOATHS]

What happen to the Farquhar Slaburner that was used before?

[@billypritchard4584]

It was sold to Ken Eader 100 years of progress

[@dieterstrom3691]

Vor 100 Jahren war das modern!

Why does the belt need to be a 1/4 mile long

[@ajaxengineco]

The engine wants to be in the nice open air, and a long belt helps keep it working outside. Stops smoke being emitted into the sawmill, the sawdust doesn't get in the valve gear.

[@randellziegler1318]

@@ajaxengineco now I know & it makes perfect sense 😀
