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

Got the Goodwill Long Boiler in today.  It's stamped "43" and not 62 - boo.  She was a bit frozen up, so undid the various bits and gave her rods a good cleaning and oiling.  I then gave the chrome a lite & easy polish.  She looks a beauty but will not steam.  She tried to steam but only got to about 150° F.  So I'll need to check under the tank to see what is up and fix the heater as required.  I hope I don't find anything I can't sort out :-)
