The Steamboating Forum

Thank you for welcoming into this forum. Currently building a Steam Launch using a 23 foot Phil Bolger Fan Tail with a 2 + 4 x 3 compound engine modelled of the Pearl inverted cylinder engines. I have been submitting a series of articles outlining the build progress in the SBAA magazine "Steam Leak" which is well followed. Currently I am desperately trying to get design registration for a John King WTB (a small Yarrow style boiler) with little success so far - very frustrating. If anyone in Australia or New Zealand has any experience in design registration boilers that can help, please reply - that would be very much appreciated.
Happy Steaming

Hi,

I would suggest that you contact the Live Steam model guys in Australia, I have no doubt that they will have answers for you. They have a couple of Facebook Groups, throw the question up there and you will find a few options I am sure.https://www.facebook.com/groups/174843825930887/
