Thanks for all the replies, I've purchased 2 of the signals from carnforth models as the model town ones where out of stock. I'll keep you posted on how the carnforth ones turn out

Must have tipped someone off on these signals because they are now out of stock

what psi does it blowoff at

65 pounds

thanks all

had it pumped upto 7 bar (about 105psi) with no problems

boiler is done and hydraulic tested, just needs its steam test then he can come home

yeh we'll see how it performs

it was the decision of the boiler make to make it a wet backhead and 5 flue tubes

the bigger the lum the better as you dont have to put as much on

big lumps go on your back end and smaller ones down the front on standard gauge loco's

will, we where rolling snowmen over with our roller on sunday

david bailey didnt think so, he though i was over complicating it with the wet backhead and 5 flue tubes

yes the djb ones are backhead'ed
