David,

One quick question, Is Ray's Darjeeling B Class loco there?

I am still trying to get photo's of the right hand side of the loco.

Dave

Robin,

The way I print (to printer or pdf) is I click on the page to zoom in, let the screen display, move the mouse pointer to the top of the page, you will see a <Print Page> button in the middle (at top of page), click this and the standard windows print box comes up, select printer and away you go. (I print to a pdf printer)

Dave

Roy,

In IE8 there is a icon (like a torn sheet of paper) to the right of the box that you enter the web address into.

Dave

There is at least 1 company supplying Tig Welded Copper boilers, I am assuming that these meet the regulations.

Sorry but I don't know about Mig/Tig Welding for Steel Boilers. (Not sure if the Blue Book specifies method of Welding -- My book is not to hand)

I am sure that when the Blue Book is revised, it will take account of the more modern welding technologies that are now available.

Dave

Thats why we have the 'Blue Book' ... To protect the innocent from the foolish !!!!

By the way, I don't find the current regs restrictive .... but then I don't have any steel boilers, only copper. (3.5" and 16mm Gauge)

Out of every 10 people that can build boilers, 9 can and they are quiet safe, but it is the other 1 that can't build a boiler but thinks he can, are why the reg's are there.

Johan,

You don't say if you are using a PC/Mac, which operating system and version .... or what Internet browser you are using.

If you you are using Windows and using IE8 or 9 then try setting compatability mode.

Dave

or if you don't want to buy the SS and make one, then you can buy one from the likes of Blackgates, they sell SS Grate made to measure.

Dave

He asked for short single part articles, not for a series!

Dave

Since it is inside the boiler I would use either Bronze or Stainless Steel. (Copper is the only other material I would use inside a boiler but is not strong enough in this case)

Dave

Spent the day at the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition ... Suspect I'll be doing domestic duties tomorrow!!!

Hi,

Vol 204 Number 4378 (21 May - 3 June 2010)

Dave

All,

I would tend to agree with Julian, he has made an excellent point.

At the club I belong to, if a member is building their own boiler, the clubs boiler inspector likes to see the boiler at various stages during its construction, so he can see the hidden internal joints. (and spot a potenhtial problem before the build is complete.)

Dave

Hi John,

It works fine for me as well. IE9 (64-Bit) on Windows 7 (64-bit) (With Compatability mode off)

What browser are you using (and version), sounds as if it could be a caching problem or even security settings in your browser.

Does it happen to all issues or just two inparticular?

Dave

Why not ...

no nothing to hide

frightened of nothing

nope

Thanks David .... has Ray given you any photo's of the right had side of the loco yet?

Dave

David. (You semd to miss this query)

Will Ray McMahon's Darjeeling Himalayan locomotive be on display there?

If so can I take some photo's of the right hand side of the loco. (of which none have been published to date)

What type of machine are you using (PC, Mac, Ipad etc), with which Operating System (XP, Vista, Win 7 etc) and which browser and version?

Dave

If you want a large(ish) loco on 3 1/2" then take a look at Conway or Lilla

Dave

Michael,

Are you trying to login in on more than one machine at the same time?

If you signin on your Mac, and then you sign in on your ipad it will sign you out of the Mac. (You can only be signed in on 1 machine/platform at any one time)

Dave
