This is the result of me blowing up the boiler....... no just kidding. this is us blowing down the junk out of the bottom of the boiler. uses steam pressure to blow out the junk in the bottom.

And some final adjustments and she is perfect! after we did this work of course she needed some test runs so howe let banksey ol boy drive it for his first time today, and i soloed it after that..... that means i drove it a few times out the track by myself, without any guidence, and didnt screw anything up........ suprizingly. i guess they are finally starting to trust us..... silly people, when will they learn. its not like we derailed their mine motor or caught it on fire :lol:
