We sold this one back in 2005 (there are pictures and details in the archive here) - steam tested at that time, we noted it went well, although the blast nozzle was too small and wanted opening up.
It's recently come back from the customer we sold it to 17 years ago who's traded up to a similar engine in 4' 8 1/2" - unused in his ownership, although now missing its wet header which will require replacement.
