[modeleng] Re: TIG welded copper boilers

Hi there Barrie,

I'm not sure you've been following this thread necessarily - the point is 
we are talking about copper boilers where EVERY joint is tig welded - see 
this link to the Maxitrak article on the subject, with pictures to proove 
the point (nb on this page, click on Welded boilers)...

...and the issue that the Southern federation rules seem to allow anyone 
to do this work on presentation and successful examination of some test 
weld pieces.

Yours,


Rich.
