Re: Pennsy E6 Boiler
Here are some more pictures. The mudring is the only thing left to weld.
Re: Pennsy E6 Boiler
Is that some hex stock being used to form the mud ring and give plenty of Vee groove for a suitable weld?

No - it is 1/2" x 3/4" hot rolled bar with the weld prep ground off.

Re: Pennsy E6 Boiler
The boiler was tested today. Glenn pumped it up to 250 PSI at 9:30 AM. At 1:30 PM the pressure had risen to 260 PSI.
We figured that was good enough.
