Book Sugestion

[user 1618]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good boiler construction guide/book for someone who has never built a boiler before

cheers

The book titled "Model Boilers and Boiler Making" authored by K.N. Harris, would be a good place to begin, Ian. I apologize, I do not have a quick-link for you to use but, perhaps if you visit Google Books or similar sites and do a search, I'm certain it will show up. Someone else may have the link and will post it up but this is all I have.

What sort of boiler project do you have in mind? Anything particular?

Regards

Jim

Amazon UK does have it,

as does TEE Publishing.

If it's a simple boiler you want, there are some in Tubal Cain's 'Simple Model Steam Engines' vols I & II
