Fed Dibnah... he was that chap that used to blow up chimney's the old way if I remember rightly.
20 odd years back there used to be a tv series about him.

Angled boiler to keep the crown sheet covered?

Yes, I know I'm a saddo!

Yes. It also makes the whole machine much more compact for its intended purpose.

I can't say anything as that's the engine I most consistently want to take home with me.
