Hi
Well the boiler steel is here and so are the rods. Just need a few degrees warmer in the workshop and im away with the welder!

Chris the boiler will be all welded using a mix of Mig and stick. The firebox will be mig and the other welds stick. trying to rivet a boiler this small is a pain in the backside and a bit on the longwinded side. That said all the stays will be rivited before welding over and theres a shed load of hem all in 1/4 MS.

The T rings will be machined form billet MS and I may include pictures of that as I go. The rear T's are split and the front wheel T rings will treppaned from the back T ring billets as I always do.

Oh the joys of steam!
