May I suggest that you do that particular demo out in the open lot between the
DH bowling alley and the nightclub across the parking lot. I think I have plans
during that time and won't be able to attend. grin

for show and tell.

Jim,
I like that idea better now. grin
It would certainly show the importance of a properly built, maintained, and
operated boiler.

Dear All,
this sort of test has been carried out by Cheddar Models on one of the
marine boilers which is about the same volume, all that happened was that
the flu tube went phu! distorted as I understand it, basically no big
deal!. In the UK we have to have any boiler with a working pressure
I think I sent a message to the wrong mail address, sorry if it gets

Hi from England,
I was just surfing by fell over your list. I own an Iver (boiler #172)
After running in I am finding it to be a very willing performer.( It now has
about 5 hours running both static

Hello Geoff,
You seem very knowledgeable of the Iver and perhaps have an inside connection
of the current Cheddar happenings.
At one time on the Cheddar site they made mention of the possibility of a 4
wheel tender with hand feed pump for Iver. Is this still being considered, or in
Well for the last few days I have had a 4 wheel tender behind my
Iver!
A prototype which, I understand is nothing like the production Tender, If it
is produced, I have to say that pulling it around the track full of bronze
off cuts really has helped to run my engine in, by operating the
Harry,
What would you predict the results would be if the boiler was very hot,
almost dry, and water was introduced? This was the apparent reason for the
traction engine failure recently resulting in loss of life. Obviously size is
of great importance here.
Keep your steam up!

Just a question from the side, how would you get enough water into one of
our type of boilers, I can see possibly how on a traction engine but not our
type, there is no where for the water to lodge! must go ,It's 22.13 here.

the block is level. Are the block and pipe bonded in any way? Thanks,

Don,
Are you the fellow that poured concrete in the PVC pipe after it was set on
the deck blocks? If so, do you feel that it was worth your time to do so, or
looking back, would you have skipped that part?
Also, how did you go about getting the tops of the PVC pipe level to each
other? I'm
