A great story Nick. Glad you got the magazine.
I saw it in person at NAMES this year. It really is a beauty. I told Gil that if Nick changed his mind that I definitely wanted it. I don’t think it has ever been fired.
Gil was very generous on the price.
Yes, Gil was very fair to me with the price, I am thankful for that
I do think it has been fired, but not often or any time recently... There is white reside on the SV threads and the gasket has separated into 4 pieces
I have some new fiber washers coming tomorrow and I plan to give it one steaming for a video... stay tuned
The boiler is also unique on this one, and unlike my other Märklin verticals, being there is no center flue or endcap... it appears to be pressed from a single sheet
Soot from between the boiler and firebox
