Any way, bit blurry on account my hands shake and its dark:

Sorry to hear your afraid of the Dark Andy can you not get a really big torch so it's not too dark for you?

Well your new zorst finishes it off I did think we might get a good video now it's on wheels and is a bit quieter.
The exhaust on my WD is more like a Lister D type but I don't want a shiney zorst, you have to time it and let me know how long it takes to look used.

To this:

Did you paint the inside of the hopper with anything? Or is it just a trick of the light?

I'm considering coating the water jacket internals with something on my Stuart Turner, but not sure what. Was considering emptying a bottle of Kurust or Jenolite in there & sloshing it round a bit.

nah, I left it as is tbh, just a good clean out

Fire in a few tea bags. They will give it a good clean.

My brother keeps saying that. I thought he was going slightly mad, but now you've said the same thing it gives a bit of credit to what he was saying. (well, either that or you're both mad).

Apparently it leaves a coating on the metal which helps to stop it rusting further.

lots of people have said that too me .... most of the older lads ...

I don't mind at all. I just forgot to put the on the end of that last post. It always used to be me that lowered the tone, maybe that's one of the reasons I don't go out much any more.

Matt you only lowered the tone as you beat me too it

I've used tea bags in my engines for a few years now, I put them into one of them small mesh bags you get with soap powder tablets and it works a treat.

I hope you dont mean the 1940s and 1950s, Mathew.

There is no substitute for experience.

not at all Billy .

Was a bit of banter really ...

I did mean that a few have told me of the older generation . I have all time in the world for them as some of the story's they have to tell you and the experience they have got to share etc .
