Boiler modifacations

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

here are some boiler pictures and a picture looking down the 3/4" steam outlet where you can see the two ends of the pipe running around the inside perimiter of the tank.

i'm thinking of adding a 1/2" outlet 90 degress to the right and left of the 3/4" you see in the picture. the 3/4" outlet will bee in the front and supply the whistle, i plan to run a pipe up the stack. the leftside 1/2" outlet will be welded on the side of the tank at the top and supply my safety valve with a pipe also running up the stack. The right 1/2" outlet will also be welded on the side of the boiler and supply my engine.

Any comments, concerns, suggestions ar appreciated.

John
