Winton Castings V2.0 (Sold)

Re: Boiler, home made!
A couple of other thoughts - A weldor can assess the welds, but may not have a clue about pressure vessels. Do an assessment of what you have (the weldor can help with that) and then do some research on basic pressure vessel/boiler design. It's not rocket science and there is lots of information ava...

Re: Stuart Steam Boiler Feed Pump (SBFP) - Stuart gasket material "Copperite" and "Oakenstrong"
I did a search of archive.org. Copperite showed up as a color for an Eagle oil can and a type of high speed steel, but that was it. none of the hits were in ME.

Re: Railroad Warehouse 2.8.2 Mikado Logger Build
I have more tools, supplies, and miniature train jewelry than I'd like to admit that I bought but hasn't yet used. However, I have a sense of wellbeing just knowing they are going to be there when and if I do need them, so they were a good investment.
