Are you planning to build a steam engine?

Cheers

Ciao Roberto,

I would like to try Roberto, but for the moment I do not know where to find the drawings at least.
I'd like to build a naval alternative steam engine really existed, since I am a model builder. Where is possible to buy drawings ?

Have You any idea ?

thanks & ciao

Giorgio

 

[prof65]

A good place to start, many of Elmer's engines are a good choice for a first build (and plans are free):

thanks for your welcome gus,
I was long time ago in Singapore drydocks for ship work repairs, many times.

Like me when you moved around too many towns/cities/countries,you lose track.

If the drydock folks spoke good English then you were in Singapore.

Shanghai is quite is swinging place. Did you drop by the Peace Hotel where they have 80 year old grandpa playing jazz.These were musicians from the pre-1949 period.

Gus lived in Shanghai for a while.

Hi Giorgio!

This isn't a model of an engine that actually existed, but I am partial to Rudy Kouhoupt's two cylinder marine engine. If you google that, you will find a number of youtube links. The plans are available in a number of books for very little money.

@Gus Ha ha ha .... you are right it was Sigapore....... and yes ....I knew an old granpa playing jazz... but it was in neworleans ...... all the best gus

@Brian thanks fo your info I'll try for shure ...... thks again.

Hi Giorgio, I to am new to this forum, I joined to learn more about model making & to find how to use my prazimat DLZ lathe for screw cutting,

Peter

 

[Seaman]

Hello Peter,

I am gathering around plans and info before ask and bothering the forum's fellows. Meanwhile I ordered some drawings .... me and my workshop are waiting for them ...
In Italy we say "if they are roses then they will bloom" .... or something like that

Screw cutting ? On youtube you can find tons of video about this matter as well as many mechanical manuals on the market.

All the best

(sorry for my late replay ..)

Non that will help with a Prazimat, but thanks for your help,
