I found one post about silver soldering on chrome plated part:

http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=126872

Chrome plating need to be removed. I silver solder a nut on boiler for manometer then screw a 5mm threaded manometer. I know that silver solder is harder than soft solder, but a member says that they have same hardness but silver solder requires more heat to be molten. Useful forum

Thanks for your comment Dynamo comes with D100 E kit. I guess that E suffix is for Electronics or Experiment.

Very beautiful roller you have, red color is best for rollers I think.

I want to buy a Wilesco steam roller and want to place a manometer on boiler. I know that chrome plating must be scraped for soldering. What is the know-how of silver soldering on chrome plated part?

I heard Bix gas burners but some people say that those burners leak at on/off valve, so I didn't buy. After then I don't understand that where I place the gas tank in a roller.

You are right Neil.

Very beautiful mod Henry. Chimney is different. It is very good idea to add figures. Figures are from Dr. Who series?

Thanks Henry. I am going to buy an alcohol burner from Forest Classics. There is no ethanol based gel fuel in my country, only methanol based gel fuel is available. I do not want to use methanol gel fuel, so I switched to ethyl alcohol burner. Again thanks your advice

Thanks Neil. I interested with stationary and mobile steam engines and I sent a post about Wilesco D100 to stationary engines section. I also like all sorts of modelling, such as RC aeromodelling, RC boats. I built Vic Smeed designed planes in 1970s.

Thanks Brian.
Thread: Wilesco D100 E

I built and run my first steam engine Wilesco D100 E at last. What a happiness... tug tug tug... then whirling sound!

I recommend that, first fit the boiler house onto base, then burner slide while assembly. Because tabs of boiler house fit over burner slide tabs, so boiler house don't fit to base if you fit burner slide first. Steam pipe gaskets are smaller and thinner than other gaskets supplied with kit, if you use a large gasket than steam escape from the joint. Place one small gasket inside of threaded bush on boiler house, as like as one or two to the other end of steam pipe on baffle plate. Operating the steam whistle is difficult due to heat. I am going to make a fork to operate the whistle. Baffle plate and cylinder must be fit slightly tight, otherwise steam escapes from between the baffle plate and cylinder. Yet I want to use soldering iron elements to heat the boiler instead of using fuel, I tried new WiTabs high efficient tablet fuel supplied with the kit at first run. Two tablets supplied with kit, Wilesco steam oil, screwdriver and a wrench. I used one WiTabs tablet and it gave about 5 minutes run. A small breadboard - protoboard- for electronic experiments, a bag of electronic components, a dynamo with mounting supports and one spiral belt supplied with the kit. I placed 3 mm rubber mat under the base to prevent vibration. Wilesco D100 E is a very good value for beginners yet experienced steam machine enthusiasts.

I tried to run a Cox model engine with IPA but not successful. Two stroke model engines require methanil based fuel.
