Here's some photos of the engine, piping, burners, and boiler. From these can be seen the cylinder configuration, lubricator, and all. The cylinder cranks are set at 90 degrees. Lubricator is pass-through. Gaskets I cut myself from paper, but I forget what kind. There's a vertical exhaust pipe behind the engine that comes from an oil separator on the steam outlet. A drain pipe leads from the separator down through the deck.
The boiler is also an I.P.Engineering Mamod retrofit item. I bought it way back and used it here as a quick way to get a functional boiler. The burners match the Jane's in size and use fibreglass tape for wicks. Fuel tank is at the same level as the burners. Chicken feeder is planned for later. The firebox side cover has been removed for the photo. The firebox is fitted with baffles to keep the flame close to the boiler. I am pretty sure that the cylinders do not trap water at the extremes of travel. I believe that the pistons stop short of the steam ports. I will check this, however. The engine runs about the same in either direction. On air I had it turning over at about 60 rpm. Hope the links work. If not, I'll try a different way.
