Locomobile Finally Steaming!

[NP317]

After 3 years of work by our Steam Team of 5 members, yesterday the Western Antique Aeronautic and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) in Hood River, Oregon, USA, finally got our 1901 Locomobile steaming and running!

We are delighted.

It arrived "running" from the east coast of the US. Yea, right!
Broken crankshaft, totally messed up plumbing, and worse.
But after machining 18 new moving parts for the engine, and sorting out all the other crap, it is finally steaming again.
There is still a "pick list" of small things to mess with, but it steams and runs again.
I only have videos of it from yesterday, and they don't like to load here for review.
So just use your imaginations...

More later, probably.

That sounds like quite an accomplishment!

Congratulations to the team for all of the effort to get it back up and running.

That sounds like a pretty cool and not all that easy project Russ. I'd like to know if some people use an alternate language and definition of what some terms really mean. Running should mean just that, a broken crankshaft in any engine I know of sure isn't.

Video or it didn't happen!
