Day 18-- A day pottering in the workshop


The water gauges were re-fitted with a better pack of PTFE.

The spark arrestor was fitted. This is a circular tube of 1/8" stainless steel mesh with a gap for the blower pipe. The aim is to reduces the likelihood of hot embers coming out of the chimney and burning clothes!!!

The injector has been re-fitted after an over night soak in vinegar.
The speed controller has been modified for 24V operation.


Baudot NOW is ready for its steam trial on Wednesday 28th February 2007
