My kit did not have a tender hand pump handle, which is used to reach down to the hand pump through the water hatch and work the pump. I mentioned this to a guy I met and talked with a few times, as he himself has built two Mikados, and he whipped me up a very nice looking brass handle on his lathe and sent it to me. I got it today. I hope I can repay the favor one day. Thanks Charles.

Meeting good folks
In this hobby I have already met a lot of nice folks. People who are willing to help out a guy like me who is relatively new to live steam. I have learned a great deal over the past year by frequenting MLS.com, talking with people both via email and over the phone and seeing first hand live steam. Even smelling a coal fired live steamer thanks to Andrew.

I would love to. I'll see what I can do about next year, but the work I am in follows the school calender and sadly, Diamond head is right after I have my Christmas break. Thanks Andy.
