We have a workday scheduled for this weekend and we'll be busy getting the facilities in order. The boiler that supplies steam to the model building has passed its annual inspection and we hope to have it in operation for steam up. I have a model I set up for steam over the winter ready for a trial run. There will also be compressed air. I know of at least 4 other members who will be exhibiting engines at the show. The excitement builds ;D ;D ;D

See you there,

Cheers,
Phil

I had a great time and it was nice meeting fellow forum members Tin and his significant other, cheepo45, and dave.

Always fun to chat with other model engine builders, and those who are interested in all things mechanical.

A little excitement when I opened the main steam valve on the boiler. Note to self - remember to replace the steam line drain caps before opening main valve. A few leaks here and there were repaired and will be fixed permanently next workday.

Cheers,
Phil
