I have learnt a valuable lesson, don't buy boilers over Ebay.
Boiler has now been tested to twice its working pressure all went well so at least I have peace of mind.
I even think that the vertical boiler looks better than the original horizontal.
I tried to be philosophical about the whole thing at least no one was hurt, this might well have happened if an unsuspecting buyer had fired the boiler up

Yes your right- really does suit being a vertical design, and looks scale too now.

Keep up the great work.

Who's your mentor by the way...?

A fellow club mate who joined about 3 years ago.
He comes from an engineering background and offered to support me in building a steam engine by giving advice and help as he constructed his the same time.
A rather steep learning curve I can't describe the feeling when it first ran on air.
