Thought you all would be interested to see the 1938 6/1 completed. This is one of the engines we picked up at George Helmuth's estate auction last October. It would turn over as purchased so nothing could be too wrong inside right?? Ha! it ended up being a mess inside so nothing short of a full overhaul would make it correct. We are blessed to be able to do the work in house, even the fuel equipment which was handled by my sons. Simply amazing that it sits almost motionless on the cart even though after the video I found it to be runningh close to 700 RPM. Since been slowed down to proper 650. I hope some day to have another example to work on as I will weigh each and every part so even a listeroid can be made to sit still. The engines does not pound the ground like my Metro, the smoothness just simpoly amazes. The water and fuel tanks are sized to it's intended duty, the engine show circuit.
