Elliot Bay Triple Expansion steam engine running

This is the Elliot Bay Triple Expansion steam engine running for the 1st time on steam. The camera seems to pick up the high-frequency noises far better than in reality. Most of the noise comes from the loose flywheel which we use to load the engine with and water hammer as the steam pipe feeding the engine is very long and is not insulated. This also means that warming the engine up takes a long time. Some of the noise is also from the eccentrics as they are not tightened up yet as some of them need to come off to complete the engine. The engine is far from complete at the moment. The air/feed pump still needs machining and there are all the tiny bits like proper drain valves and the oil system to put on, then finally the wooden lagging. There are also no piston rings in yet. http://www.thesteamboatingforum.net
