  • nice to see it wasn't left to rot like so many others.

    very cool!

  • From the look of the steam chest casting I would have thought the engine was double acting but I can only hear one powerstroke. Is this a single acting engine? Thanks for the great video.

  • That is awesome!!!!!!

  • @done871 Depends..here in Australia all the old paddlesteamers were wood fired,they burned either Red gum or Mallee wood..both native Australian hardwoods which were in plentiful supply,and burned with a very high heat...if you had a good fireman that knew what he was doing they had no problem raising pressures of up to 150 psi in the boilers.

  • How much reconditioning was required?

  • I am gonna say; I am more proud of where I belong professionally, mechanical engineering...I was close to tears ! seeing the old relic of the steam giant brought to life.It could be likened to going into an Egyptian pyramid and resuscitate a pharaoh...! lol ! ...of course , to serve, if you are wondering !

  • beautiful, thanks for sharing

  • 6:11 Best doorbell ever!!!!!

  • very cool project and glad somebody saved it... i would be concerned about pressures in such an old and possibly rusted piece.. did you guys inspect it carefully for cracks and leaks first?

  • Tired of useless pics 4:01  better)
