I have a Bix tank on mine. Much sturdier than the original, definitely wouldn’t trust the old plastic tanks. Will run out of gas before the boiler runs dry, got a fair amount of service from mine. Search for “Bix Hornby Rocket gas tank” and pick the most convenient supplier.
A very good Video. Thank you for sharing
Very nice
Beautiful
Where do you get the gas replacement from

@@RolyWilliams I'm missing the bar that connects the engine to tender any chance you can let me know how long?

@@morg777 Thanks, I found one on ebay
Could it pull one person on a 3.5" gauge track???
i dont think there's anywhere to sit..... :-p
The biggest problem would be that of traction, but with a large lead or cast iron weight strategically placed it could pull someone.
Wich oil did u use?
I use steam oil for the cylinders and machine oil for other moving parts.
