Its that time of year again, (2008) here the 30hp Stanley boiler with burner and smoke box removed

This winter I hope to find time to complete the Keen, after being put to one side for some time,
it was good to find that fitting a battery, switching on and we were steaming around the estate
before putting the car in the main working area, work is almost complete to the interiour
and work to complete the bodywork is continuing with panels being fitted.

This week I have been making new pancake coils for the Fox,
there was room in the flue to get another 45 feet of 3/8" copper tubing in.
The boiler is back together, I hope to test it this weekend.

At last the little 10hp Stanley is up and running again,
Steven took it for its first runs today, few minor adjustments needed.
and it will be ready to go.
