Its been a long time since I posted any progress on my CSS. I am still amazed at Pat's mod for the Pittman motor. But this isn't about any electrical or electronics post. No sir, this and subsequent postings will be about more detailing to the Boiler of my CSS itself. I have ground down the so called feedwater heater located in front of the smoke stack, and I've added a Worthington feedwater heater.
The hole in front of the stack was used to hold the boiler front on to the engine. I took the screw and installed it from the bottom of the boiler front and the screw will stick up through the hole. Everything in front of the boiler front will hold the front in place.
Then I moved on to the feed water pump. I ground out the square lumps that were the feedwater pump and motor.
Then I added a Worthington SA feedwater pump.
This afternoon I added a hand formed feedwater pipe.
I have also drill holes in the top of the boiler for a new whistle. The existing generator will be removed and a Pyle generator will be placed in its place along with a back up generator.
Until next time...
