It seems inconceivable now, but back in the 1970's you could buy asbestos sheet for boiler lagging. I still have some!

A very neat solution to making the beading for the tender 👍👍👍

Wow, they don't make TV accessories like they used to!
That seems to be a decent gauge metal sheet.

Looking good

I think you should’ve used kapton tape instead of masking tape.
Anyway, nice work as always 👍🏻

It's not easy doing such fine work with such big meaty hands lol nice job.

You be careful or you might end up being an insulator in a Refinery😎😎😎. Nice work as is your usual.

As an NDT tech that watches insulators in refineries, that comment made my spine shiver.

I'm sure modelmakers in the future will evolve an extra hand somewhere (probably as a result of accidental self harm:-) )

[@BruceRobinson-tz8cj]

Great example of thinking for solutions, e.g. materials and tools. However, how was the hole formed in the brass boiler cladding, before or after rolling?

[@myfordboy]

The hole was cut after rolling.

[@nightlightabcd]

I didn't know the boilers were insulated. Is this usual for production boilers, like Mamod and Wilesco's? Is this your own innovation or is this common?

[@myfordboy]

You are correct, Mamods and Wilesco boilers are not insulated.
