That's good progress on the boiler, it shouldn't be long before it's all soldered together.

Fasinating build! You are rearly going to town on this one.
Watch out for the radius on the bottom edge of the saddle tank, it will make all the difference to the looks.
A coalburner on unofficial Mamods - wow

it has 5 tubes instea of 4 and a wet backhead as opposed to DJB's dry backhead.
it also has a propper regulator under a dome the same on dave wadkins 'frog'
the dome will also have the fittings on the side and top like a bagnall.
