With a little help from a steam enthusiast, I was able to get the little engine in time and running pretty well. This is our second time steaming it and we are pleased with the progress. As with anything that hasn't seen much use or care for awhile, when one thing is done another two pop up. We have a steam leak that will be easily fixed, and our clutch is slipping, again not too difficult, but something that has to be attended to. Half the fun is working on them, right?
In any case, we are MUCH closer to a reliably operating traction engine.
