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

I was overwhelmed by your skills and resources in the repair of your model 45. I believe I may be looking for more than just a steam cylinder and mounting screw for my engine. I need perhaps some professional commentary, and perhaps a professional restoration. I am sending a photograph for your perusal. Would appreciate some advice. I gave up on the original color some time back, as I did not feel I could replicate the Jensen "Galvanized" turquoise color. Perhaps I should have it professionally restored? Bart1353

It's hard to tell if the boilers made of brass , a simple test of a magnet would tell...sticks , its steel. no stick its brass. I wouldn't bother Restoring a steel boiler imho.
I would be willing to check it out if you want me to possibly restore it.
