Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Jim...don't hold your breath.  I'm not liking
the design.  The fancy 'direction changing' aspect
is an overdone waste.  And, it is recommended by DK
that if you are going to be running it much use air
to avoid over-working/ruining the heater element.
First time I saw a warning of that sort.

I am still fussing with the sightglass problem as it
is set up for that right now.



So.....I'll switch to soldering the boiler cap
on an early Empire B43 (hope my hands don't shake
too much) that leaks here/there all the way around. 
The first owner must have cooked it early on because
it does not look like it was used much.  Oopsie, dead
engine, put it in the attic is what I think happened.
