Many thanks Benni, David, Marv, Abraham & Kjelle- :beer: - I'm right happy with the loco, though it still needs a way to go to complete it.

Benni, like BC said, I used 60/40 "electronics" solder - 60% lead 40% tin with a resin core. I have a couple of rolls of lead-based solder like this, newer electronics solder appears to use something to substitute the lead for health reasons, and my rolls of solder is about 20 years old, so still have the real lead in it. I'm definitely not conversant in Swedish, but I think I catch the drift from Kjelle and yourself. As far as I know, there is solder available with just a bit of silver in it (4% I think) with a low melting temperature - somewhere between the electronics solder and what is normally called "silver solder" which I used to make the boiler with. I think this is what you are referring to as "plomming silver looded" which I interpret as "plumbing silver leaded". That would work just fine in this application as well. :thumbup: Don't worry about spelling - as long as you can get the idea across, it's fine. If I've not interpreted correctly, please do say so :thumbup:

Rob, Cheers mate; - the track needs a bit of sand though :lol: - looks too much like a concrete jungle right now :lol: I'll be sure to buy a packet of "ship of the desert" Tabs to get some camels for the scenery :lol: :lol:

Thanks very much Stew :beer: much appreciated. Now I have to build a Coomber before I finish this one...
