MAM's painting isn't bad either.....

Nice trick with copper rivets.
Looking forward to seeing the boiler pickled and cleaned up. There is something about copper when it's all bright and new.

Love the photos Dazza, especially the one with all the steam coming from Gympie....
The soldering looks neat to me also. You won't see the inside stuff will you......

Nicely done and it looks beautiful all cleaned up!
I do like a newly finished boiler.

It is always a good moment when something passes a test. Mind you having seen the photos of your soldering I think we all would have been surprised if it did leak.

Why progress is slow on the little loco and the "Potters Orchid Railway" I around the 12.30 mark talking to engineering legend Peter Olds. I was fireman on 967 for the day. I had a drive with 8 on the hook the next day.

A simple job started, but it was nice to be in the Red Room last night with ABC jazz on the radio working on my little choo choo.
