I was thinking the pins were for starting it, but that's a tough call.
Did you get any further on it? That's an awful nice engine, I didn't see the 6" rule the first time I looked at the pictures (it looked like a smooth spot in the casting, with something stamped into it), the engine is bigger than I first thought. Very cool..

Actually, I forced myself to stop messing with it. I bought it to resell and I already have too many projects going. If I get interested, I will want to keep it, my wife will kill me, and someone will buy it at *my* estate sale and be asking you guys about it.

I could say that about many items that I resold on ebay.

Geez, Wally, I'm a little disappointed. Maybe I shouldn't be, I dunno, but it seems that if you asked for ideas and got some- mine in particular.. couldn't you at least go far enough to confirm whether or not they were correct? And now it's just not worth your time 'cause you were just going to sell it anyway?
Whatever, Wally.

Hey Guys,
I'm going to see the Milton Steam Era show on Sunday, as I'll already be in Toronto for Friday and Saturday. I'll stay over just for that, as I have not been there for many many years, so it's a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. If it's really good, I may even go back Monday!
Anybody else going, or have "best things to do or see" recommendations?

Drat -- you got me all excited -- we have a "Milton" down near where I work here in western Washington. Then I realized it was the wrong Milton. Hmpfffff.
