ET Westbury Side Paddle Wheel Engine plans

[TorontoBuilder]

After reading several build threads for this engine I was frustrated that the plans were not readily available where stated... i.e. the download section of this site... or the links to the files at the model engineer website (404 errors).

So I did a goggle search and located the original files on the Model Engineer website. I guess they re-organized their directories or something.

The articles from 1957 with the plans and notes may be found at the following links... it is a two part article and download. You need both files.

Westbury also did a stern wheel engine, published in ME 15 Aug 1965. It includes the paddle and is a much more American model, whereas the sidewheel is more British.

I think the stern wheel plans are at the same ME site as the sidewheel

Hi Ron,

If you have a name I can search for I will find....

I happen to prefer side wheelers, and they were common here is eastern North America especially on the Great Lakes, st Lawrence and Hudson regions.

Those steamships built in Cleveland, Toronto and many great lakes ports were in fact walking beam engines, but I have yet to find a nice walking beam engine that is suitable for a model I have in mind.

Image 1 is the typical walking beam engine used in great lakes and hudson valley. Image 2 is typical of european design Westbury used for his design.

Anyone know a good plan similar to image 1?

Here is a mirror link to the stern wheeler part1. Change the -1 to -2 and -3 to get the other 2 parts.

There are only 2 parts.

KVOM is correct. There are only 2 parts. I was looking at mirror site wrong and messed up. Sorry for the confusion.
