Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Hey folks I just wanted to give a quick update. I had to put the project on hold a bit due to other health related things with family but I'm finally finding time to pick this back up.

I've got new o-rings and shim washers on the way for the Stuart 504 boiler. I also noticed it probably still has the asbestos insulation so I have that on the way as well. Once I receive all the parts I'll put the boiler on the workbench and dissasemble it (take fittings off, pull the sides off, dispose of the asbestos, etc). I'll get some pics then. Hopefully in the next week or so.

At some point I'll probably have questions on how to test the pressure gauge. I don't remember it moving although it did generate steam.
