I can certainly appreciate the quality of the build, but I don't have a clue how the heck it works!! It's not like any steam engine I've ever seen before!

Confused, but fascinated....

Thanks Mick, after reading through the link you posted I've evntually got my head round how it all works!  A fascinating engine, from a time when experimentation seemed to be running wild.
