Title: Vaporiste BOAT engines en France
Post by: vapeur38 on September 08, 2008, 05:01:49 PM

 Good morning,

I live in GRENOBLE French in the Alps. I practice the steam hobby and I'm passionate by steamers.
 For 7 years I built 3 boats propelled by steam engines. I love drawing and designing steam engines I practice machining and milling round for having built 18 steam engines.

I have a lot of plans and models to share with you. I propose that Ppartager my knowledge at your disposal. My English is very bad this is normal because I am Dauphinois!  :angel
A bientot for exchanges, the site is very well done I like the pictures.
Good luck to all.
Friends vaporiste.  bonne visite http://picasaweb.google.com/vapeur38

Hi PD's....& welcome Francis  :coffee....also thank you for sharing your photographs vapouir

I am sure other PD members will have many questions from your Photo pages....in time one of our moderators will assist in you opening your own Folder here on our PD WEB site ...I do recognise some of the photograps....one with the initials DB....engraved into the engine valve plates

My speech in French is very very poor...but lets not worry about that as I managed to purchase a JMC3H from Jean Marc http://jmc.vapeur.free.fr/......and a GAZ regulator from Anton  ...............http://fabrice.bretagne.club.fr/Index.htm.....regards Derek
