Hi is that one of the Wilesco engine/Boiler units?
Regards,
Gerald
PS John I would order one of your engines but 300Pds is almost half the price of the mill I want, If I can get the Mill I should be able to follow the build here and build my own. So please continue with the build I have always found your work educational
Regards,
Gerald

Goodness Eddy....since you will be the owner of No 4 Engine..... & me the owner of the No 5 Engine...could you please rename this as .....what ever you think......how about "Horizontal Twin Paddler Engine ...by Bogstandard 2008".....your call - Derek

John has already said he will start a new topic once the build begins Derek, so there's no need for me to do anything

Eddy

I can't rush into this one, but when I get the time and energy, it will be all hands to the pumps, just like the last one.

Gerald, as I said before, this is an interest build, and if it helps you in some way, then great. I am not into making engines for a living, I just use them to support the shop in making models. The income will come from other workshop work. People don't have the facilities I do, so that is why I am building a few.

Now Derek,

About that fiddly little blaster you showed in an earlier post. What a wimpy little thing. Below is mine, given enough pressure it should be able to fire small marbles. But I am lucky, and have a contact who gets me as much glass bead or grit, in whatever grade that I require, and it is just a matter of swapping medium and adjusting pressure to get the effect as needed. Twenty squid from Machine Mart, plus you need a damned big compressor to feed it.

What will do a lot will do a little, but not the other way around. Take no prisoners in this game.

John

Oh dear PD's ... .sometimes we must forgive them for they know what they say........[courtesy of JC a long time ago]....the glass bead bit & thing that Winfried uses is based on a VACUUM principal........I would not call it WIMPY....more an inteligent sized blaster for little bits  ....Derek

Looks great and the engine too.
By the way, do you have more pictures of your ship? I'd like to see it.
