Nice. There’s an event called the “Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion” 45 minutes from my place. It’s an almost like a huge fairgrounds built around a lake that has an old lumber mill and soooo many steam engines. Massive factory ones, smaller ones, a crazy amount of steam engine tractors, and even a massive steam powered stamp that makes souvenirs. It’s a great family event!
I’ve never seen one up close but it appears to be well made and it’s got the steam exhaust on the side which I think is much better than the ones that go up the chimney and make a mess. Very smooth and true even at high rpm’s. That boiler looks huge!
Hello Andy i have seen your name on the forum, my user name is the rat05, i buy scrap engines and try to rebuild them using all the original parts if possible. The D24 is a great engine, this engine needed a little work but as you can see it is a lovely engine ....Steve
The D24 is a great engine. It's great that you've brought yours back up to scratch. I steam mine far too rarely.
Hello Juergen now i have one i cant stop steaming it....Steve

They are superior engines to the lower orders. I miss mine but yours is very nice.
