I'll steam it more often this way. No polishing to be done then.

Great Video!

I like the idea of using a different boiler. Not only does it save on polishing, but it protects the firebox paint and decal.

This would be a great idea for the newer Jensens.

What kind of steam line did you use?

Do you have to use a hose clamp or is it just a tight fit?

I would hate to see it fly off under pressure.

I think I'm going to use my spare Jensen 75 boiler and firebox for something similar to this.

a hose clamp on model boiler end- the other end is so tight 1 not needed- though if you do find yours a little loose- I'd use a clamp there too.

That looked good, just wondering what pressure was the boiler at?

That's great Clinton. Runs well with that boiler hooked up.

I always enjoy seeing that boiler

That is probably a bit too high for a Mamod to run on, the trunion bolt tends to unscrew itself and parts fly everywhere.
