I posted this video under another thread but believe it shud stand alone because of the time and energy that Jeff and Hans put into her revival.
I wanted also to take this oppurtunity to thank Hans for his wicks, Let me know how much I owe you and I will send money.
Also fot the five or so hours that you all spent of your time to correct some of my mistakes or whatever.
John Frank fired her up on Tuesday at Steve Specks and after a while he let me run her. It is a lot easier than I always thought it would be to get the engine to run the way it was designed.
What I learned from this experience is that it takes a lot less time to do proper maintenace than it does to repair the problems caused by lack of such.
Im psotint the video again because I am proud of what a beautiful running engine the S-2 can be when properly maintained.

Art, I have already paid Hans for the wicks.

Cars look great, I am glad you sent the engine to DH. When I finished the engine and ran it here, it pulled all my rolling stock with ease ( about 40 cars), and I could never understand what you guys were doing that it would not pull all your cars. Now I have my answer !! Glad you are having FUN running it! Keeper oiled.

I'll send an invoice via email in a day or two.
Jeff
Ron, the details are posted under the "Diamondhead 2009 International Steamup" thread
