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

A nice Empire B30 arrived today. It steams well and is in overall good shape - except the steam whistle resonator tube is missing. I replaced the pressure relief pop-off seal with a silicone washer and a couple of other seals, but no other repairs were needed.

Nice indeed - I love the round sight glass fittings but for the B30s I am partial to the earlier version where the bottom dips down (though they can be a problem).  The B30 line are built like tanks and you have a nice steamer.  Great to see new members getting Empires :-)
