Some plumbing changes.
Added a whistle with selective nickel plating
New PMR #3 engine with selective nickel plating
New draincock arrangement.
right smart arrangements Paul, the nickel plated bell on the whistle looks GREAT !
Thanks, I've had a lot of fun with this little plant......thought I would share.
A truly lovely set-up you have going there Paul .... would add beauty and grace to anyone's steam cave!
Nice and complete set up Paul. I like the red black contrast on like the tank and mounting ring and the boiler and ring.
Looking good
Is the nickel plating done by yourself?

Yes, I plated the parts myself.
Great job Paul!
Did you use a Carswell Kit for the Nickle Plating?
Great job Paul!
Did you use a Carswell Kit for the Nickle Plating?
Yes, used one of their "plug-n-plate" kits. I did not use the wand with the gauze. I dip plated instead. I found
heating the solution prior to plating works best.

Yes, heating really helps, I did my plating right on a hot plate from the thrift store.
