A video of a very nice rack line

Found this on YouTube when looking at Paul Holt's vids (which are also very good btw!)

That's one hell of a modification! I'd worry about operating a boiler out of horizontal when it comes off the rack onto a normal grade, or is it a vertical boiler?

But still, it has an intenal flue for firing, so it may still have a "dry" spot if the water were to get low.
