Wilesco T125EL "modified"
« on: December 12, 2020, 07:17:17 pm »
This is a Wilesco T125 that I bought after Nick showed us his beauty. When I bought this from Mini-steam I bought another boiler (a D21 boiler) so I could modify it with a immersion rod heater , which I have done. these T125's are a whole cut above regular Wilesco offerings with the Kartsen G. turbine.
here are some video's I took of it.
the conversion...

Those are some mighty "Cool Beans" (as someone we know might say), you have cookin' there Bruce. Certainly looks to be a really fine set-up, and no doubt that is a whole cut above regular Wilesco offerings!
