If anyone thought they missed out, Regner is making a special run of the locomotive next month. This is the last chance to get one.

Also for those that did get one, the snow plow is not included in the kit and found a part number of 23607 if you need to order it.

We also came across an issue when installing the pump valve, there are 2 steam valves that are next to each other on the back head, one need to be replaced with a different stub length or if you are daring enough cut shorter and chamfered for the cone.

Certainly there are different alloys of brass ranging from the cheap stuff to that which will take tough and corrosive environments. the US navy uses brass junction boxes for lights and electrics outside on their ships which would be a worse environment than our little boilers with worse results due to failure.

Nail on the head!

I would think the Regner boilers are first class and there is no probability of failure. They have been making these for decades. I bought one of the Marklin live steam engines some time ago and I believe they used Regner parts. There was a note in there about the water used in the boiler that it should contain at least 5% tap water. I don't know what Regner's recommendations are.
