I've got to say Stew, that boiler is coming along right nicely, and the joints are looking really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the tubes and tube plates in place to have a bit better perspective, but the tubes, plates and all the bits and pieces don't look so intimidating as they go together now. You wouldn't already have an engine waiting for that boiler by chance, would you? :lol: :lol: Can't wait to see some steam built up and driving something. :jaw: :bow: :thumbup: mad jack

Cheers Jack

The boiler is for my 2-4-0 loco that I'm building, you gave me the perfect excuse to take a pic of it between the frames.

The frames somewhat stripped down, I've removed the front wheel and the connecting rod so that I could trial fit the water and oil pumps.

You can read the build log her http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=547.0

Thanks
