A vignette of our Merlin engine's first run of the season, shot by Elijah Jackson of@BalticFilms144 Also showing her first time driving anything in this case an old hay windlass which may or may not be used to drive an uphill sled pull line for unsuspecting families in the coming Winter.

The name "Silence is Golden" seems to have stuck to this machine because she is quite literally both of those characteristics. The windlass of course is the polar opposite and deafens out what little noise the engine makes, with its unmachined and raw-cast straight pinion teeth.
