Fantastic detail.
Where did you find the "Old Salt"?
I have been looking for "accessories"  tools, buckets, etc
can you recommend a source? or are they a product of your
remarkable expertise?

Thanks for sharing -

Again a very beautiful steam plant Bernhard. The engine modifications are making it looks much more realistic. I especially like that you have cut down the cylinder base and that you thinned out the support columns.


I have some questions:
I see you use the Regner pump (modified). What bore doe it have and what stroke?
Who made the small Kingdon boiler?

Did you make new brass parts for the Graham? Steam chest covers, cylinder head covers, cylinder cladding, etc?

Hello!
Another good job from Bernhard!! :-)) I am never tired to look at his realization. O0
I have a question though. I do not find anything about this Kindon (Kingdom? Kindon?) boiler. {:-{
Is he an engineer who designed this type of boiler? Is it a factory? What does that mean? I can't find nothing on the net.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Regards.
