Walter, Elmer did an engine "48 Una-flow" That uses the same principles. The write-up on that one might be some help with the principles and reasoning,...
Hello Walter, Your hyperlink to the picture is broken. Can you please resend it to the group? Thanks, Dirk Tollenaar Elmer's Engines Group Owner From:...
Here is the link to the picture of the engine. I did scan my plans that I am drawing up and I emailed them to someone, and they are going to draw them up on a...
Ummm they should I sent them to someone to have them do it for me, who is a member here. Personally myself I'm dying to see it it runs. It'll all be available...
Hopefully they will be done soon, I forgot who I emailed the print to. I belong to several groups close to the same topic. So sometimes I get confused! What...
Hello Walter, You resent the URL for the engine, and I'm very interested in building the engine myself. So with that said, please keep me in the loop, so the...
Ok, well I'm sorry if I got off topic or anything. The picture did come off of Elmer's page, so I figured I was ok. I'll make sure the CAD drawings when they...
My #25 is almost finished! Its my first Elmer's Engine. I hope it runs, there are a few errors. But as a whole I am fairly pleased with it. It's actually a...
I finished my first Elmer's Engine last night. Hooked it up this morning to the captive air tank and it runs. I think it needs a heavier flywheel, so in the...
Congratulations Walter. I also built a #25 to see how it would be to make. In my case, I didn't put an aluminum plug in the cylinder bore before soldering in...
Thanks Alan, appreciate the compliment. I'm going to try to make another one for myself. This one is a Christmas gift for my father, he likes hit and miss...
I noticed that there is a boiler that comes along with the #25 print. I was thinking of making this simple boiler as I have never made one before. I was...
For a very simple boiler for a small wobbler or other tiny engine. Salvage an old fashioned pressure cooker from the junk pile; the kind with the jiggling...
I have seen admonitions that made it seem like boilermaking is the most dangerous thing you could ever do. I have also seen PLANS for a boiler made from a soup...
Yeah I have to agree with you. When I first decided to get into live steam, it was for "G" scale trains only. Then of course I saw other stuff. But I was told...
From my reading there are several key points in fabricating a boiler. Make sure to use a "hard" solder. You want a high melting point - much above boiling...
I don't want to go either way regarding boilers or pressure vesels as I believe it's down to you if you do something daft! I will tell you all about my first...
Hi, Â Alan is right in his observations regarding the use of water for pressure testing - in the event of failure, as the watter cannot be compressed, there...
Hi Mark, I think if you look on the bottom of the pressure cooker you will find it was made by Supreme Aluminum in Canada, If it is the type I think it is....
Sounds about right to me. ... steam, it was for "G" scale trains only. Then of course I saw other stuff. But I was told by an experienced machinist that toy...
... I have not made that boiler but have built many boilers for model use and also for my full sised steamboat. Until you know what your doing I would use...
First I'd like to say hi. "Hi all" I'm new to the group and building my first steam engine. and I'm looking for advice on boilers. this is the steam engine ...
Yep, you are correct about the weights being the primary control - they have three rings to control the pressure and hence the temp. The problem we had was...
Quick question for you folks... Does anyone have a cross-reference saying when the designs in "Elmers engines" were first published in Live Steam or Modeltec?...
... Mike, cannot answer your question about the publication dates. Anyway, if I got it correctly, Elmer's plans were made available on the Elmers_Engines...
Hello Mike, I have some index info. Here they are. I don't recall where I downloaded the files from. Hope they help. Rupert Ps. Wish I could find complete...
This was my impression also. Gary B in BC **********************SEPARATOR***************************** if I got it correctly, Elmer's plans were made available...
Yes, I'm sure you are both correct. Our list owner, Dirk, has posted that information in the past. Carl _____ From: Elmers_Engines_1@yahoogroups.com ...
