I have several live steam engines that I want to store over the winter. I
usually keep one out to run and put the rest on the self til the snow melts.
What are the do's and don'ts of storing a livesteamer? Some people
recommend leaving water in the boiler, others don't. Some say lubricate
Don:
For engines I'm going to leave in my unheated shop, I drain all water from
boiler up to and including turning the engine over and draining thru a
boiler plug. I suck out or drain the lubricator and push the engine back

I have found small nut drivers at electronics parts businesses other than
Radio Shack, and at businesses that specialize in nuts, bolts, and tools.

be dry while you are initially firing up; I try to keep water in mine a all
times.

We understand his dilemma, I've had a few can you take this box of

Trent,
Another reason may be that the point (or area) of most aggressive and
invasive corrosion in a boiler is the area or line where water turns to
steam. Since in a superheater tube a further steaming is taking place,
