Aha! Thanks Larry, I will keep an eye out for those. I think for now
I'll replace the 4x4 round and make the whole boiler out of slopes: it
does look a bit odd being half one thing and half the other, and really
the 4x4 round is a bit small in proportion to the rest. Also the whole
thing is too short. That's a function of the size of the wheels, though.
Are there Technic flat wheels larger than the 25mm diameter ones I have?
(I have a very limited amount of Technic at the moment).

Well, I am shooting off a test roll on a new camera and they will be on
there. I don't have a web site at this point: is there a place where I
could post the pics? I seem to remember someone offering a while back,
but can't remember who it was.
