File:Oil Burning Pacific Backhead Vance Nickerson.jpg

Summary
Backhead view of a 1.5 inch scale Pacific. I install dry pipes on my boilers whether coal or oil firing for the turret to help with the atomizer getting as dry steam as possible. Never attach the sight glass to the turret. I'm not hesitant to drill and tap the boiler shell but I always use heavy wall tubing. Photo and text by Vance Nickerson.
