A Canadian Intro

[jshay]

Hi Everyone, My name is John D. and I live near a small town in Manitoba. I am nearing retirement age and some of my interests are I like old machinery, steam engines, model engineering, classic country music, some big band music, some classic rock, and a few others interests, jokes and humor which is what brought me to this site a while ago. Nice to be here.
Thank You

Nice!

Do you have videos of it running?

I purchased brass rail for my father to put in a garden railroad. After he passed the rail came to me. It is in storage now. Before I get to that indulgence I will get the 2 HP engine running under steam. That needs a boiler, a regulator, and steam oiler. I may end up purchasing the boiler so I can it certified and inspected.

Unfortunately Ben I don't have a video. I haven't had it fired up in several years, the track I took it to was 2 hours away and I stopped going there.
