Great idea! Then I can contract you to build the impressive 60" steam launch. I know you probably come cheap but the Stuart D10 sounds like $$$$$ to me. I only paid $80 for the boiler including an excellent hand pump, pressure gauge and site glass with fittings other fittings.,a safety valve etc etc.- all new. The propane burner needs a modification I believe. Well, I could use it as a steam cleaner for my Gauge One models, also take it to steamups and go into business! You know, get the crap off those carefully "aged" models.
