Thanks for watching!

Keith you did such a beautiful job on that 7A steam plant, it's a shame the dismantle it--you put in so many hours.

[@timothylangley6945]

Very nice job on the water tower and the rest of the base.

[@keithappleton]

It is indeed, and not even my work }:-)))

Without knowing the full particulars of your fire tube boiler, I can assure that in industry there were many "Underfired, fire tube boilers". This type of plant was once common, and could be found burning solid fuel, liquid or gas. I remember sticking my head in a rural hospital boiler house and there were two of these. The attendant hand stoking billets of wood as required. The only sound being basically the click of the water pump as it changed direction.

Personally I have never seen a boiler design quite like this in the UK, especially in model form.

Looking forward to the 10V rebuild... whenever that may be

[@keithappleton]

Quite soon {:-)))

Water tower has a very American appearance. But looks nice

[@keithappleton]

Yes it does indeed, that's where the steam plant came from.

[@nicholasmorrill4711]

That water tower base looks over engineered to me.

[@keithappleton]

Does it really? I didn't make it so I really don't care. I thank you though for your expert opinion and highly constructive comment.

@@keithappleton Your welcome,that's what you get from a lifetime spent in precision engineering I guess & a father who was a design engineer & among other things designed the fuel tanks for the TSR2.
