Re: steam channel
So I have to say everything I've bought from Dave works exactly as good as the same product from Barry. They also look just as good. Including safety valves and globe valves. Dave doesn't advertise much but everything is there and if there is something you don't see that used to be offered by Barry,...

I did so as part of a larger boiler cleaning process so I don't know how much of a difference it made by itself but I think it helped. I did see a small amount of stuff come out.

On another engine I have the builder used string and then spray painted the string with flat black after tightly winding it. Some kind of insulation like...
