Post by: Dr.Rev.DelmarMacReady on September 09, 2019, 07:50:44 pm: I missed this one. Clever repurposing of some spare parts. It looks sharp- you did a fine job on building it. I need to go through your channel for a video of it in action.

First class repurposing.

A must for the regular running of some of Weeden's classic engines!

Hummmm .... ya know, I have a wreck of a Weeden vertical, and the boiler is likely to never hold pressure safely again, but could be made to hold water at atmospheric pressure .... just maybe I should consider following your lead here Charlie. ;c)

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Nothing like the fine Chuff Potts from Demon Industries, but I was pleased with the outcome.

Good looking - shows your creative ability well Charlie.

Thank you Larry. My first attempt to solder in a bushing. It was a success. 🤠

Title: Weeden Chuff Pot
Post by: txlabman on August 31, 2019, 12:29:23 pm: I made this a while back from a Weeden Boiler.

A little touch up to do on the base paint.

Brass hose adapter, Bushing and Weeden decal came from www.weedensteam.com.

Thanks Frank!
