The engine is complete and runs on air in both directions, although passing by valves and/or pistons.
Although in current club test, on hydraulic test in the workshop the silver soldered copper boiler showed several minor leaks on the foundation ring, with an older repair to one of them. Two construction rivets showed beads of water.
