smoking factory + stationary boiler

[pauly]

Using old locos as stationary steam boilers for small factories and railway workshops was a common practice but its rarley modelled.

Iv seen a few model factories with smoking chimneys but they have always been done with chemical smoke generators.

Iv done it with a scrap-box mamod, its real steam and it looks awesome.

Iv just piped the steamline straight into the chimney.

That's a good idea, Incense sticks also work as well as grass cuttings soaked in fuel apparently!

That's really clever. You're right, it was a common practice and you never see it on models, till now. Good use for the old engine.

thanks mate, all I had to do to the mamod was patch the boiler, wouldnt trust it with any kind of pressure though.

I wonder how itll cope in the winter.

Finally, a use for a Mamod that will do its job and not try and catapult itself off the track

Cheers,
