Have just finished removing an almost new set of 2" tubes from a boiler for survey towards Form 4 purposes. The tubes have had one firing on wood on them since installation a decade ago - restoration halted and never finished. The heat numbers are still legible on many of them, and I have the original bill of sale with pedigree. The nominal remaining length is about 8'6" once the torched ends are cut off. Number about 190. Anybody doing a saddletanker or some traction engines can use them please email me an offer, otherwise they will be frittered away in making stuff around the shop. FOB Montgomery, Alabama. Hope it can help somebody out. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

Hi Dave; Not sure if these will fit our saddletanker which is under restoration but will measure tomorrow. If they will fit then we would certainly like some of them.

> What gauge are they? Standard, but they would work on a narrow gage engine too. Kidding aside I think 11 but will have to double check. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

Turns out I underestimated - 10 gage. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |
