Don`t want to spoil Danny`s post i have a larger torch and a blowlamp but like Danny said you have to very careful when dealing with thin brass the one Nick showed i think a touch lower than the one i have but might be worth looking into.  At the end of the day it`s the skill in ones hands which Danny has i`m still learning

It's really impressive how you manage to bring these old wrecks back to beautiful condition! I'm following your restoration.

Sure Nick.

I only need to make a new chimney

But before I show some photos, may I introduce two new employees.
Their names are Fred (left) and Ted.
Rules of employment, no wages, no union and the boss is always right
Their main goal it to give an indication on size and volume.


Here is the plank Engine.
What was this…


is now that…
Starting with a fully restored manometer:







The other EP sits still in parts, but will be restored soon…
