I want to build from scratch a steam plant suitable for powering a Tug 45inches long and 40 Lbs displacement, can’t find any suppliers. Stuart are OK for castings but want to make the boiler as well, need all the details, burner, oiling etc
Thanks for info. Had looked already in the “Steam Engine ” section and found only the Miranda set which is a little small. However when looking in the Model Boats section came across “Victoria” which may be OK
There are other plans available on the net, but I didn’t think it would be appropriate to post on here as this site is sponsored by Model Boats and they do have many fine plans.
Have you checked in the Model Engineering section of the plans.? MM749 is a 3/4 bore x 5/8 stroke double acting slide valve marine engine. Obviously a range of boilers in the same model engineering section.
Thanks for info, will have a look, but not 100% sure I can size the boiler correctly and add the correct lubricator etc, hence my quest for a complete plant set
Regards
