It's really great to see some boilers being made and having steam engines running on steam. IMHO our forum is rounded out with threads like yours - Thank You. :bow:
You are right (again ) I should have looked at alternatives and it wouldn't have been a problem to retrofit near the end. But its painted now so the torch is staying well away from it.

You are welcome to the plans hopefully they will be of use one day. If only if its only for one of the parts or ideas or even as a reference for 'I wouldn't have done that'

Thanks; I can't see the point of steam engines without steam. It probably goes back to when I was 10 and my stationary Mamod. With the help of Mecanno my engine didn't stay stationary for very long.
No doubt more boilers will come with later engines.
