Well, my little blind boiler D5 showed up today! I am very happy that it seems to have made the journey home without looking like it went thru a rock crusher.
The safety valve and whistle are stuck fast in the boiler, also the whistle valve is stuck...I might try some penetrating oil and also some gentle heat to see if I can free them?
Here is a photo of how looks on arrival, barn dust and all...I fitted my spare Chimney and thought it did not look normal...upon further reasearch it is approx 3/4 inch Longer than a stock D5 so apparently my parts bin Chimney is from a D10
I don't think it looks all that bad....my little D5 may be blind but at least he's well endowed.
