this project is really good Graham 
Model Engineers Laser was a good move, I use him for all my laser cutting!
Looking forward to seeing it on air!

| i just thought id read through this whole thread again and am wondering why, graham, you chose to fire it by gas? was that just becuase its simple and quick to get going? Id like to say id have it coal fired... but id end up with gas haha. Did coal firing cross your mind? |

Gas sure is convenient, I am getting to be a fan as the New Mamod Loco has no troublr keeping a good head of steam up.

Scrapping parts happens, it is worse when you are working on a one off project. Looking good as it is.
