Can I build gas boiler for a Mamod?

It turns out building a small boiler is a lot easier than I was thinking at first. After all #mamod locos are small and the parts are small and easy to heat to a high enough level.
About £85 of materials total, all copper, silver solder and bronze for bushes, and a new gas bottle.
We start cutting tube and a former, then onto hammer forming the tube plates, followed by soldering it all together (and getting it a bit wrong)
I think it went well, now onwards to testing, and fittings.
Any comments on the video will be well received, I hope my editing is getting better.

Great video for someone like me, a ham fisted novice. A lot of good points for me to follow, I have a boiler on my list of things to make so this has helped me a lot, mainly about how to sequence the jobs. I count my mistakes as fun learning, except sometimes when I end up saying a lot of rude words in Latin 😁😜

Excellent, you may want to watch my screaming mistakes video for other boiler things i mucked up

Watching now 😜@@3RailwayPlace

I have made a lot of boilers and can suggest the folowing. You need a bigger torch. The metal needs to be heated quicker or the flux will become inactive.

I defo need a bigger torch for much more than these. But for the most part, will be using the oxy/ac torch at the club for those

Neat job. Thanks for showing us.

Thanks, just hope it passes tests!

Could you have used soldered pipe caps for the ends?

[@3RailwayPlace]

Possibly, but to get a boiler test and certificate means sticking to proven drawings.
It would certainly be worth an experimental piece made and put through a water pressure test to compare
