Looking for drawings and castings for Cole's American La France Fire Engine.
Do you have one you never started or have partly machined if so let me know what you have and how much you want?
 
If I knew for sure that they were not covered by any type of trademarks or copyrights I might consider selling a few copies. If someone is currently building this model and needs information I will share details on the parts they need.
 
I have a complete set, 25 sheets, of Coles Steam Fire Engine, a complete set of building notes and material sheets, 13 sheets and the assembly drawing for the water pump and steam chests. If I can locate a couple of boxes in my storage area I do have some castings, side frames, water pump, steam chests, expansion tank, fly wheels, plus other parts when I can get in boxes. I would sell.
 
See what I mean about Cole's, such a rare kit and drawings. I wish someone would/could offer digital files. The sad thing is, these Cole's patterns are probably rotting away in a barn in Texas.
 
I know this is a very old post but if you still need plans I have some.
I would love a set of plans. I have have a set of plans for vertical boiler I could share, assume no copy right, from saturated steam out of Florida I bought 40 years ago. Just now getting around to building it. 54 tubes with super heater, about 18" tall.
