Title: Marchioness of Lorne paddle wheels
Post by: John S on May 10, 2025, 03:27:20 AM
Has anyone got a copy of the paddle wheel building instruction they could let me have a copy of.  I have just ordered what appears to be the last set of brass etchings but no instruction are available so I can only guess the detasils such as hubs, spacers or anything not included on the etched sheet of brass. It would be most helpful if someone can assist me making these wheels. On a slightly different topic I have almost finished a twin cylinder paddle oscillator using the Miranda engine sort of arranged upside down, ran very well on ait so soon will try steam. Hopefully comparison picture has been attached. John S.

I was thinking of doing the same with the engine, invert it to drive paddlewheels, I'd be interested to learn if you have issues with condensation pooling in the cylinders. Which is the reason I've been putting off starting to build it.

The engine looks very nice by the way.
