We down under in NZ are in full lockdown except for essential services.
The mail still gets through.
These two  arrived yesterday as they got into the system before it shut.

Stuart 10H and a big boiler and scary burner.


And a set of castings for a 10 1/4 inch high single slide valve
Maker unknown
Plans are imperial and treads BA
Cylinder and trunk guide are solid and not core cast
1 inch bore  and 1 1/2 stroke  .

That really is a rather scary looking burner!

Nice haul though, and those castings ought to give you something worth doing during the lockdown!!!

“ Lockdown “  interesting concept .
While our country ( New Zealand ) maybe in lockdown
I am a farmer ( Sheep and Dairy ) and therefore a essential industry so everyday is the same to me
Work from 6.00 am to 5.00 pm
