Steve:
The EK shoots fire as I have never seen it do! Many thanks, and it sure makes a BIG difference in the Lauson's performance. No more skips! The Ek is polished up, and while the exhaust funnel, oiler, and boiler ring are not, you can get the effect that the brass and copper achieve together when polished. I'll send some close ups of the EK for your scrap book, should you like to keep them. Many thanks for the new covers, as well.

What a joy, and again, thank you!
