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

Wow, Bruce, this is really nice--it's the first time I've seen this thread. It's a great boiler and you've done a beautiful restoration. I was particularly impressed with the burner which would also work well for a hot air engine--very well engineered. Did you have to change out the jet to a smaller size for propane? Any way to refit those nice early try cocks with the round handles? I still have a hard time believing this was home built in a shop--looks factory to me.

thanks Brent
I didnt change the jet out , I tried it as is and fortunately it worked, I was given a 2 gallon canister along with the boiler that had several valves and probably had a hand pump that went in the center (missing the pump upon receiving) this part looked a little to sketchy for me to use and a propane kit was cheap and easy $25.00 , although I only used the Hose connection since the burner proved out satisfactory. I really wanted to keep the 3 Round handled cocks (even posted in the wanted section about them) but came up empty in finding similar petcocks ( I really liked the originals , but one was bent badley)
