I have a set of castings, for the Coles Corliss Steam Engine model.
Looking to purchase a complete set of Blue Prints.
Do you have a complete set of Blue Prints?
Thank You, Brian

You should be able to get copies easily without cost.
No reason we could not to a virtual cast iron festival, with today's technology.
We all fire our furnaces up at the same time, time zones allowing I guess.

I have my own poor quality personal prints with changes that I don't exactly record. However I can send you a set of mag articles with build notes. (Oddly, I can't make head or tail or tale of them, I just build as I think it is easiest). Some of the build notes make sense to me but most I have a difficult time following. The mag has most of the dims properly (but I didded find a few missing).
As for my own, there are probbly LOTS of dims missing. However, if you print them off, they can be measured with a ruler, calipers, whatever.
Send me your email and I will send you whawt I have. I work tonight so it might be a day or twoo.

Yes of course someone wants it. I already have two so really,I can't use another one. Well, maybe, no no, well maybe NO NO! Well . . .
Do you know there are three or four guys in this forum very close to you?
I have built the Coles Corliss and sad to say I didn't keep a 'do's and don't' list but one thing comes to mind:
The drawings I have called for 8-32 machine screws in too many places, particularly the cylinder assembly.
I used 5-40's and certainly would not use anything larger than 6-40's.
I would review all the screw sizes and adjust before starting.

I totally agree about the screw sizes. There are several areas that are out of portion. I am making 6-32 flat head screws
Oops, finger hit the reply button before I was ready. As I was saying, I am making 6-32 flat head machine screws. The head will protrude out of the block just enough to machine down to give a clean surface with no trace of the screws. Anyway, That is my intent.

The drawings are very good. It took me over a year to build. For the cams, I had a friend make a full size cad drawing print full to precisely layout center points, arks etc..
the only issue I had was the valve timing. I just over loaded the exhaust ports focusing on the intake. It wasn’t until I saw another engine build, not far from where I live, running the I noticed what I was missing.
Great model it’s too bad it’s never will be available again. Good luck and enjoy.
