Well PD's.....that low engine speed & engine noise is great RGY..... .....Derek 

RGY..... ...we have reviewed again tonight & see the issue 

  ...your .MOV file must be depicting a newish vessel master in a docking operation & you as the engineer are providing the FWD & ASTERN revolutions....again great work  ...

We have after 12 hours solid work here in OZ  tonight also reviewed the sound aspect...... .....

The most impressive steam video on PD's for a few years........Derek

That's how we all dream ours should go (but somehow they don't)   

Lovely example Geoff. Well done

Thank you all for your kind words. The secret, long stroke to bore ratio in this case double. You will notice in the previous video the revs where much higher, but a lot of steam was escaping, although I had lapped the faces well.  Having lapped the faces when on the pivot the ends with more movement than the center ground down leaving the face hard around the pivot. so I milled around the pivot now no steam escapes put no high revs. Going in the boat as soon as I can find the time.

This is the latest experiment with the smoke, plenty and darker than it looks on screen.    But a bit volatile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r75f1EVTL6A

Sorry to report progress very slow, as I am a not so good. But I have managed to install the plant. Just have to sort the feed pump now. Geoff

Sorry one wrong picture. That's the one . Geoff
