A rainy day is a great time to finish my new water tank. Soldering the threaded bushings in place.

Making some changes to my steam plant. Replaced the hand pump, water tank and replaced the injector with a Coles steam pump. Now to pipe everything.

Yes, this is the 7-tube Stuart boiler, with the center tube being a superheater. It steams very nicely.

Brad is this the Stuart 504 Boiler with 7 tubes?
That Boiler heats up very fast and produces enough
steam to drive most of the Stuart models. Very nice
presentation with condenser, pump etc. I do like
also your two engines, congrats

First run of the steam plant today. I am going to make some changes on how to feed the boiler. The injector was a good idea but the shortcomings outweigh the benefits.
