My late 70's Wilesco live steam stationary engine is fired up for the first run in 30 years. Commentary is in "beginners" French. Boiler is in like new condition inside and out, having survived 30 years of neglect. No corrosion or de-zinczafacation, all solder joints solid. Pre-heated water helped speed start and lengthen run time. A bit of castor in the water helped lubrication. CanadianTire 'Coghlans' brand solid fuel tablets used for a cleaner than I remember - and cheaper fire.
Cool! :) I like the way you speak English and French I'm guessing so sorry if it's not French
