Hi Gary, a slightly different arena of interest has brought you here. We'll convert you to the waterways yet

I had a look at your club site and found it of interest I too love vintage agricultural machinery. As yet I've still to convince my wife that having a tractor to pull her out of snow drifts would be a good idea
There is plenty to keep you occupied in our venerable Steam section of this foum whereI'm sure you'll find mmany people interested in assisting you on the theoretical aspect of boiler manufacture.
cheers
Jim
