[Steam-engine] Boilers / Repairs / School

[Dan Donaldson]

    I agree completely with you and Beth. Hands on mentoring is crucial for
gaining a greater understanding of firing, maintaining and operating a steam
traction engine. The purchase of and the firing of a traction engine is
something I am taking very seriously and I believe I have a lot to learn
before I will feel comfortable firing a high pressure boiler. Any advise is
greatly appreciated.

the others.

with a school.  Somerset, Va. and Denton, NC. are small schools and have a
good amount of hands on.
