So a while back I build a PM #3 and had a lot of fun! BUT I only ran it on air, not steam.
I'd love to put together a steam plant, but don't really know all of what I need! I watched Blondihacks, and she seems to just hook the engine up to a boiler. Others seem to have a tank and transfer pump!
I am leaning towards picking up the bigger PM boiler (the horizontal one), but was wondering if I should also pick up a transfer pump and water tank? Will I regret not doing all 3 together?
Also, presumably either way I would need a displacement oiler? Are the PM Research ones pretty good?
Is there anything else I would be missing?
