He's off again I cannot cope with the pace of work, and I'm just watching. I'm going to lie down somewhere quiet!!! Well done Chris
For the flanging ops on the boiler endplates, I suggest you hire those two elf candidates that applied to your ad for additional elves - one was A.Neal and the other was Mal Ett. Be sure to tell them that pilferage of Mann boiler endplates for use as jumbo frypans for elves is NOT allowed. And suggest you check the spirit locker so there's Navy rum available for the cool down party.......
Good stuff Chris! What info/calculations/"Elfinology" did you use to calculate the wall thickness, stays required, & boiler volume required for this particular engine? John
Thank you Chris! I'll have to check out the book. I'm trying to get a better understanding of boiler requirements so I can design some boilers at model scale. You just can't beat the experience of an engine running on steam. John
