Trial fit on the frames

Steel Boiler built by Harry Holt of Pidsea East Yorkshire.The steam dome was modified so as to make the fitting of the regulator valve and assembly
easier,as on the original drawings of the boiler it was a difficult job to fit anything in the confined space as you have to reach down inside. As I fit teflon ball valve regulator's this mod make's it much easier.The smokebox is detatchable from the main barrel and is secured by four contersink socket head screws,as I wanted to keep the profile of the boiler the same as the original drawing,the steam dome is in the center of the boiler and there is a bush at the front for the top feed as I had on a previous Romulus.
