After receiving a less than pleasing email today from photobucket calling me a "naughty boy" for posting pics to a forum over a year ago, I will throw this into the ring. I was a subscriber to RCScalebuilder in the US for a number of years and it worked extremely well. To actively participate...

Hi all, I received this email today from Photobucket. WE NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING PHOTOBUCKET FOR 3RD PARTY HOSTING* PLEASE UPGRADE TO A PLUS 500 PLAN. Our Terms of Service does not allow 3rd party hosting with your current account level. UPGRADE NOW It seems to me I am being...

Tractorjim, I would be very interested in seeing the photographs thanks Ned

Thanks John, I have since seen some plans published in Australian Model Engineer magazine, but as I am now building a NSWGR C32 class locomotive from the Winter plans, I will just tap some steam from that to see the mill engine run on steam. Admittedly that will be quite some time away, now...

Hear, hear. There is nothing more frustrating, than to find what was obviously a very informative build, open it up and find all the photographs are not there!!!!!!!

I watched your thread start and have followed it with interest. As I am about to embark on a boiler build to run a 1.5" bore mill engine, just wondered if you have made any more progress with your boiler. Cheers, Ned

Hi Bob, I am following with great interest. Just wondering if you intend on getting the boiler certificated. One more thing, I am also in the market for a 3 in1, but there are so many out there, it is a minefield - you sound happy with yours. Would you mind letting us know which one you...

Tony, Many thanks for replying, and the link to your boiler build pics. They are very well done and provide some valuable insight into building a boiler. Did you ever get the PDF done?? Cheers, Ned

Thanks Aonemarine, Probably a bit too big for me - they look good though Cheers, Ned

Marty, I have only recently downloaded the two Harris books (after I started this thread) and am still reading. Some great stuff there. I have ordered a set of plans for a 5" vertical boiler which I may be able to adapt to my requirements. I'm thinking that maybe a 6" diameter boiler about...

Thanks to those who have made encouraging comments. Here it is running on 10 PSI compressed air. I am still having difficulty in locating plans for a suitable boiler to run this engine on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMYLlfHXN_0

Hello all, I have just completed this horizontal mill engine, beginning with unmachined castings. It is presently only running on air, as I continue to search for plans for a suitable boiler for this size engine. 1 1/2" bore. Will post a video soon. A few photographs here

Hello all I have just built a Bolton No:7 mill engine - 1 1/2" bore and I am finding it extremely difficult to find plans for a boiler to run this engine. By that, I mean plans for a boiler I might be able build myself, but most of my research leads me to ready made boilers for rather...

I have just got this engine to the stage of running on air for the first time. Still a lot of work to do, but for my first build, I am satisfied so far that it at least runs. I would like to acknowledge some very valuable advice from fellow builder Flywheel who was kind enough to answer some of...
