Looks like a Utica/Dunkirk.

No the block is made by US Boiler. It’s the exact same boiler as a crown, New Yorker, and Burnham.

@Danny Scully @Ironman what do you think about the quality?

Danny Scully

Like I said, it’s literally the same boiler as the others I’ve mentioned, just a different jacket.

Steamhead

It's basically the same as a Crown Bermuda. I don't think it's the same as the Burnham Independence- the tappings are in different places.

We've installed several Force steamers, and they run well:

It’s exactly the same block @steamhead, it’s just that Burnham has its internal draft hood in the back of the boiler, not the front. So esstinally the block is flipped around.

Steamhead

Not so sure, @Danny Scully - the steam tappings on both are in the rear. If the Independence block were simply flipped around, or vice versa, the steam tappings would be in the front.

Danny Scully

The steam tapping on a Burnham are not in the rear, they are closer to the front. I don’t know why you’re fight me on this it’s the same block. I wouldn’t hesitate to install the Force @SeanBeans.
