YOU gave and still give the idea that most hobby operators are yokels and idiots. quote: "you must see that the hobby engineer ,for the most part, doesn't follow proper procedure-blowdown the boiler often enough". Maybe true where you are, but its not true around here, the lazy ones are definitely in the minority. A hobby boiler is just too big an investment to let it deteriorate from neglect. Yes there ARE yahoos, and guys with more money than brains. But they don't seem to stay around long. Yes, there are some pretty bad boilers sitting in fencerows, I doubt I'd be in very good shape If I sat outside for 60 years either. BUT (from what I read) had BEEN in preservation, and I'm assuming that since it was operating, somewhat recently inspected (Pa is rather fussy about that). That makes it an entirely different kettle of fish. Could it still need a major overhaul? Possibly. It may be in real nice shape too, or somewhere between. Neither of us knows, because we haven't seen it, so this arguing is pointless. I didn't flame you, you questioned my experience, and I gave you my answer. You said that all traction boilers retired because they were in marginal or worse condition, and I answered you and gave other reasons. Am I a Putz? No, I'm more of an opinionated, short tempered sunuvab___.
