Hi all. I'm from Adelaide, South Australia. Now retired but worked all my life in power stations here in South Australia. From coal to oil and gas fired boilers. I bought a Wilesco D21 just to get a steam fix as I do miss the machinery! Also got the Bix gas kit from Forest Classics, working well. I have recently bought the steam pressure controller from Forest Classics but haven't received that as yet. Working out how I am going to plumb that thing in!
