old steam engine running

this old engine has been knocking about my shed for years, it had a blown boiler no steam pipes and the piston and big end were worn, so new boiler, copper electroplated the piston to get a tighter fit teflon tape wraped around the crank pin ti take up the play and act as a bearing surface, and soldered new steam pipes to the cylinder. runs quite nicely now
