Having built 7 locos, 3 in 3.5 in gauge, 2 in 5in gauge & 2 in 7.25 gauge and the boilers for all the 3.5 and 5in the best bit of advice is make sure you have enough heat that the work is hot enough to allow the silver solder to flow.
I felt there was enough about brazing boilers in other people videos. I wanted to focus on design ideas and construction method so if you want to build one you'll avoid some of the practical mistake and make an easier boiler to run.
Brazing refers to using brass as the filler/joining material. The joints are silver soldered on copper model steam locomotives. Brass will deteriorate, in particular in the fire box. A brazed boiler would not pass inspection.
Very interesting. Beautiful craftsmanship.
you truly are an artist

brilliant, sir
Sir, can you kindly make model boiler for me??? I will be hihhly gratefull.
it would have been nice if you would have shown the brazing process as well.
