What exactly does using lagging mean? I always thought lagging was the asbestos (or whatever) wrapping around steam pipes. A lot of modelers of steam plants use string that is wrapped around pipes and then painted with white paint to simulate the real thing.
I’m learning by doing.
Anyone have any pics of what lagging is?
Thanks
Boiler lagging in the model world, is most commonly done using strips of wood, but strips of most any good insulative material would work.
In many cases, the actual insulative lagging is covered with a sheet metal jacket, as is common on Locomotives!
