Weeden 641 first steam run

This 1923, US made Weeden, needed a lot of fettling.
It is a steel boilered, on first attempt at steam, leaked like a sieve! Tried a soft solder fix hole got larger. Tried JB two part liquid weld, not pretty but it worked.
Oh, both safety valve and whistle missing, same 1/4" BSF thread as Mamod, The chimney is a temp. fix, Aluminium tube fitted nicely.
Happy to see this brought back from the dead.
