Minnie 1" Traction Engine. Video link

[engineernut]

Although start 25yrs ago has only been worked on and off, mainly off , and I decided a few weeks ago to do a bit more. ;D
Now able to run on air has given me a desire to finish it and start a larger Traction Engine. ;D
Here is a link to short video of first run on air at between 8psi & 12psi.
A few of the links are not complete so are secured by wire for the sake of this video.
Pic quality does not seem very good but I believe it depends how many are on youtube as to the quality they let you see videos.

And I thought 13yrs to finish mine was a long time

Looking good, what are you thinking of next, something big if you were after LSM's details?

I seemed to work on it for a yr and then on shelf for a couple, whilst making other engines, although this last spell it has sat on shelf for 3 yrs.
Not sure on next one. Will wait until this finished, unless I see something I can't refuse in mean time. ;D
Details for LMS was for a part.
