Looking good, Greg. I like the idea of using the hurricane lamp as a pilot light.

Sounded reasonable, till I ran the engine, then the motor/gear noise swamped it out. End of experiment.

The gears on a real one make as much noise as the exhaust in my experience, so I wouldn't worry too much. Steering them is like manoeuvring an ocean liner as well..........

The steam museum over at Menangle are having a field day weekend after next, which you might find interesting if you like old machinery. http://www.csmm.com.au/field-days.html
