Your engine runs very nice. It is also made using Wilesco cylinders and parts. I think Krick used to sell it about 20 years ago.

I recently purchased a similar steam engine - looking for ideas for a boat hull - anyone have photos of their installations?
Haven't had a chance to fire mine up yet and see how it runs.

For an easy installation, I think you need a hull of about 70 cm, and quite wide, becaus ethe boiler is tall, which raises the centre of gravity.
