I love that you show this engine in action doing what it would've done. The working models were always a hit at our shows. We would have working sawmills, lots of steam engines (several people even had caliopes running off them), of course the old Maytags (we actually owned a repro fruit jar engine), cornmills and lots of other various exhibits. We attended about a dozen shows in Colorado, and my ex would go to Iowa to the swap meet every year. Our club put on the exhibit at the CO State Fair every year, and we also managed some trips back to Ohio (our home state) and also to Oregon where his sister lived. I loved the set-up they have near Salem, Oregon. I actually started working on a grant to set up a working model similar to what they had out there, but it got dropped after our divorce.
