Silver silvering and heat

[DAVID POWELL 4Participant @davidpowell4]

When starting the boiler of the Jukliet loco I tried various sources of heat withour success. Two proffesional boiler makers told me they use acetylene.

 

This is very expensive for the occasional user but then I found a source which supplied me with Map/Pro gas and a large (about 2 foot tall) oxy bottle. The kit comes with everything including a trolley but you need to buy a No 28 nozzle as well as the ones supplied are too small

Now no problems silver soldering the boiler.

The source is a plumbing wholesaler http://www.cwbwholesale.com/
