Re: ip engineering
At last! IP Engineering finally answered phone and I asked why they had not done so for more than an hour and was told that he was out. There is apparently no-one else in the office. IP told me that they do not contact their customers to acknowledge orders or advise of dispatch because of "secu...

Are these people still in business?
I sent them an order 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing - not even an acknowledgment.
I know they received my order because they have taken my payment.
They are not answering the phone and I have sent them an e-mail but no-one is answering.
What's going on?

Mamod Sterling live steam loco
Does anyone know anything about this 'NEW' loco which appears on Mamod's home page?
I have tried looking all over their website but there are no prices, vids etc. and none of their distributors lists it.
Is it all a dream?

Re: water level glass
Hi Peter It's good to hear that the site glass problems are over. When you've got rid of the boiler limescale it might be worth using Halfords' de-ionised battery top up water as it's suitable for lime fee applications including domestic irons! At £5.50 per 5 litres, it works out at about elevenpenc...

Re: water level glass
I haven't given up on plastic yet - it just needs to be the right one! My last attempt to explain what I thought was going on was not good enough. I hope this is better. Peter tells us 1 The safety valve does not blow 2 He has a bad seal and queries using gasket sealant 3 The lens has blown a hole i...

Re: water level glass
I checked the Manor site and it describes the replacement lens as 'Perspex" which is a brand name of Acrylic sheet. Perspex is available as a cast form which softens at up to 110C but this is more expensive than the commonly used extruded form which softens at around 102-105C. The continuous se...

Re: water level glass
It sounds like the plastic in your new sight glass is not correct. Polycarbonate works very well even at high pressures up to 40psi so I guess you have got hold of something like Acrylic or PETG which soften at lower temperatures and would fail. Don't forget the the boiling point of water at 40psi i...
