This is a great shot of the inside of a boiler.....without, tubes, flues, and flue sheets!
You can see the firebox with its staybolts,the inside of the backhead with the firebox door opening. This loco does not look like it has thermic syphons, as they are part of the crownsheet, and connect to the rear fluesheet (front of the firebox), just above the mudring.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
