Scotch Type Boiler from Mason Trains

THIS BOILER TURNED OUT TO BE A FRAUD. IT WAS NOT CERTIFIED IN WASHINGTON STATE AND NEVER WILL BE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT BY A CERTIFIED SHOP WHO HAD THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO.
In September 2004, I was invited to ride along to Mason Trains in Chilliwack, BC, Canada so Ken Beselin http://www.kbships.com/DesktopDefault.aspx > could pick up this beautiful boiler he had built in Canada. This boiler was ordered to be used with a Bolton Triple Expansion Ken was building for a customer. It is a Scotch Type Boiler that is ASME Certified. See Ken's website to see several pictures of that beautiful Bolton engine. This is a very efficient Propane fired boiler, capable of maintaining the 130 psi (as I recall) to run a triple expansion engine such as the Bolton or Stuart.
