Roy Anderson single

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Roy Anderson single

Post by steamboatjack »

Hi,
As anyone got any experience/opinions on the Anderson single engine as advertised on Elliott Bay web site? I have read the article in steamboats & modern steam launches by Mr Anderson.

Regards
Jack

I have not seen one in MANY years but it is a smooth running small engine.

Hello,
Is the Elliott Bay Steam Company still trading?
I have sent a number of emails about the castings but with no response over the last few weeks!!!
I checked the web site and the last update was 2002.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of casting for the Anderson single, either a project not finished or just the castings?
I have a complete set of plans which I bought a few years ago, it looks like a good steam engine for a beginner.

Any help would be grateful.

Thanks
Chris
