And one more thing (until the next thing comes to mind): I consider
this to be an enjoyable and level-headed debate, just in case anybody
gets the mistaken impression that I'm trying to come down hard on Tony
at all.
So far I feel we've been civil :) I too hope I'm not coming of to harsch..
bit cranky because its 25 degrees celsius in my
workshop :/
This particular thread has all the hallmarks of one that *could* descend

Speaking of steam engines and boilers. I saw a 1918
Bucyrus steam shovel
this
weekend. Mostly rust, but under slooow restoration.
/P
And I saw an Avro Vulcan flying this weekend, this year is the last time
that will ever happen. Two weeks before that I watched a General Electric
Lightning blast down a runway that I was standing right next to (it wasn't
allowed to take off). These are experiences that deserve the word "awesome".
