Can I join Eddy and John and wish everyone a peaceful and happy yuletide. I went to Norton mens shed this morning, full of good intentions and got my model out. Then the tea and coffee and banter started flowing along with home made scones, sausage rolls,cake etc. three hours later I put my model away without doing a thing to it!. all the best, Walter
You only need one hand to drink tea or insert cake Walter - That still leaves one hand free for the modelling..... Get a grip man!!!  Regards Eddy

I have password trouble with my old account, and have started a new one temporarily until admin can fix the password. There may be another thread with on the the replica PS William IV, but I'm not finding it. IIRC, it was build as a bicentenary project. After some years, it lost its survey, and languished on the hard. A new group revived it to service. https://williamthefourth.org/history/180116-NSWPortAuthority-Newcastle-WilliamTheFourth, two photos Roderick Smith

Hello, Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. I was wondering if you started to build this model yet? I agree a truly fitting tribute to John (bogstandard), would be seeing his original design doubled in size. I was lucky to know John, he helped me on the steep learning curve of model engineering. From the basics of grinding tool blanks, to more complex setups and jigs for machining operations. He sadly passed shortly after posting a goodbye message on the HMEM forum. I'll always remember most his flywheel finger machines. Great for anyone who often taps their fingers at a desk  For anyone who hasn't seen John's original plans, fag paper sketches, and very detailed machining instructions, can be found here. https://www.machinistblog.com/bogstandards-paddleduck-engine-plans/Regards Jon

Hello, I've added a note on the download page but unless anyone specifically looks at the MB22 download they won't see my note, so posting it in the forum for an answer instead. http://www.paddleducks.co.uk/smf/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;id=340Malcolm in his notes refers to a 3" vertical boiler to go with the engine. Since I can only download 2 items a day, can someone point me in the direction of drawings for the boiler, or aren't they any drawings. If not I'll look for something suitable. Regards Jon

Thomas, Further to above - I love your grid system for measuring photographs.I still use a cumbersome old set of proportional dividers!. Brilliant thanks! Walter

Hello again Dave sorry about garbled first line in my reply. It should read "model to start" with my name at the end! I injured my left hand and wrist tendons early this year(I am left handed) so my left handed typing is all over the place! (And my modelling) I had to type and correct this simple message 5 times! Walter
