Fit the boiler bands (parts 26). The band with the full metal strip fits into the etched groove
around the centre of the boiler and the half etched bands fit at either end. The boiler and
smoke box must now be united and I have found that this is best done by passing a
length of tube through the centre holes of the smoke box and boiler then placing
them onto the footplate and passing the tube through firebox holes. Adjust
the sections until you are happy with their position in relation to each
other and the footplate and then tack solder boiler to smoke box
joint. Remove the assembly and solder the joint solid. If you
wish you can also solder a ring of soft wire around the
circumference of the joint to represent the boiler to
s m o k e box jointing ring. Do not solder the
assembly to the footplate until
after the next stage.
