I did not get a video of it starting, it's an air start, and they had a couple tries before they got it going. Took half an hour to recharge the air tank for each attempt.

They salvaged the engine from the bay a couple weeks later and discovered it was submerged in the bilge for 20 years. They were going to restore it, but now, just clean up and have it be a static display.
also on my youtube, are a couple other machines, steam roller, a geared mining locomotive
https://rootsofmotivepower.com/locomotive/locomotive-heisler-steam-bluestone-mining-and-smelting/ which has it's 2 steam cylinders axial mounted at a 45 degree incline on either side, like a Vee 2 engine. They drive a longitudinal shaft which geared to the big driver tires. Steam now has real torque !
It's unbelievable fun being here the days they fire it all up and show off the gear.
