Hi there, I´m just back from my workshop, adding a boiler insulation to my loco. I really hope that it will improve the steaming: Currently I have to stop every 3..4 minutes to get steam preasure up again.
The insulation was done with very fine 1mm thick cork, covered by a shell of 0,5mm brass. The boiler bands are stainless steel. The last images shows everything back in place on the loco. I´l give it a try in the afternoon. Yours Gerd -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
