 |
|
This is what is left from the "Noris", made by Ernst Plank.
It is the biggest size of the Noris Engines.
Unfortunately there's a big problem, the boiler is cracked....
The base is wood and the rest is steel....rusty but still very solid 
So what to do now? How to repair the cracks?
Or make a new boiler?
I think i'm gonna open the boiler and have a try....
I was goild to make a kind of open turbine of the engine
PS. the boiler is this time definetely made of brass
