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?

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? |
