I think Godshall's & American Model Engineering Supply is the only USA supplier of the small MTP taps and dies. Taps-dies.com in the UK has been sold. I cannot find the new website. Tim

Hi All Before I order drawings from England I was wondering if anyone has drawings for a Stuart 7A with reverse gears. Thanks Tim

I have the drawings for both the 1” and 2”. I also have a set of castings for the 2” scale. Only the flywheel and cylinder are sand cast everything else is lost wax. The mold for the trunk weighs 40 pounds and is aluminum. Tim

I will shoot some waxes and take some pictures. Tim

I have received boxes with molds and patterns for the Tangye 2 stationary engine that Saturated Steam sold. I still need to inventory everything to make sure I have everything. I hope to make waxes and have them poured. This project will take awhile and I will not take any money before hand...

This is from the McMaster Catalog. What they call Low Carbon Steel is most likely 1018. Tim

I use 1144 stress proof steel for most of my parts. It machines great. For my high stress parts I use 4140HT. I build 1/8 scale steam locomotives. One thing that you did not mention was what machine tools you have. My 14” lathe has a 3hp motor and my mill has a 2hp motor. I am to a point that...

Sorry I missed it. This is what they want. LOCTITE® 680, it is 0.05 mm to 0.38 mm. 0.0019” to 0.0149” Looks like the minimum is 2 thousands. Tim

What grade of Loctite did you use? I have an oddball one that I use at steam meets when someone’s wheel comes loose. It has it own primer and sets almost to fast. We had to get the torch out to remove the wheel again because it was slid on in the wrong position. What is the optimum fit /...
