Doh I was looking for nails on fingers,     , it took 3 times to see the box, I was more interested in the engine.  Hope it works out well and you end up with a stunner.

Cheers

... friend of mine now owns a D32! Looking forward on your progress. The D32 is truly a work of art. Do you have all the parts needed to get her back into action?

ive got all the bits ,just need to knock a new boiler up!!

The glass bead insulation is something I've seen once before:
on my ca. 1911 Edison Home Kinetoscope arc lamp apparatus.

It's an ingenious way to make super-heat resistant insulation for wire;
it can never fail or flake off.  It was a great technique.

What an engine!  "Knock up a boiler", indeed.

I wonder what a new boiler costs from Wilesco, if they supply?

A great project.  Wanting to see the finished result when its ready

and alll repainted in nail colours.  Pearlescent?
