Full compound engine!    We worry about "What oil to use?", Total loss, errrr, No lubrication apart from water!

Welding that would politely be called "Guano! It would look nice on that de-seamed tank job! 

"Not for the faint hearted! Note cornering technique of car at 3mins 12secs! Would of wiped anybody out in the corner!

Enjoy and hypothesise!

Love it!!.......Russian inventive engineering at it's finest, it 'aint pretty but it works.  Don't you fancy sitting 2" above a badly welded tank full of boiling steam Bill? 

Mad Maxski would be proud!

Aye Steve,

Working around steam engines has made me cautious about pressurised steam. Even the soldered cocoa tin with the small nail hole punched in the lid, then sealed with plasticine, being heated by a methylated spirit burner could built up a good head of pressure afore 'letting fly'!    Soldering, the lid on a tin, with a wee bit of water in it and then 'cooking' it, was very salutary, the soldering coming apart in spectacular fashion and the ringing in the ears for a wee while after. Far better than any "When iPad"!

Off for a stravaig and get blown into the North Sea.

Toodle pip, Bill

Hee hee.....brilliant stuff, however I do hope you're not referring to the welding on MY de seamed tank Bill  . Can you imagine even being able to travel 100 yards on that thing over ere, the fuzz would be down on ya within 50. I'm sure there'd be some kind of fixed penalty charge that they kud throw at you
Thanks for sharing Bill.  Cheers, Michael
