Can't wait to see it painted and weathered. Jerry Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A.

Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1805 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 12/10/2011 :  3:24:57 PM     Roland, I am watching and learning. I want to try to scratch build a boiler from a bunch of spare parts I have.

That boiler looks pretty good. Can't wait for the next update.

It looks like a mix of scratchbuild and using commercial details. Country: France | Posts: 17643 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 12/10/2011 :  9:07:13 PM     Thanks all for the positive comments. Larry, I'm watching and learning too.

Here is a shot with the engine and a figure for size. Now I have to build some sort of concrete base then connect the piping. Question, does anyone know what kind of connection is used to get water into the boiler, and where does it connect to? Thanks, Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1805 swissrails Engine Wiper Posted - 12/16/2011 :  9:11:48 PM       This looks great!

Just a thought.....

I have watched my sawmill pictures to see if I could help you with the piping between the boiler and machine (since they both look very close to yours), but they are not very explicit on this... Country: France | Posts: 17643 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 12/17/2011 :  3:15:42 PM     Thanks again for the comments. I must have asked the question wrong. What I want to know is how does the water get into the boiler from the water tank. I just poured a pad for the boiler and support for the engine using Drylok hydraulic cement. It's drying now and looks pretty good. At least the color is right. I didn't go for the finished look of a professional finisher, rather a rough finish. Photo after it sets up.
