I was initially going to post a reply, but didn’t, because the subject had gone into steam engines. This is a subject where I have little knowledge, except for building a Midwest single cylinder engine for a yet to be built steam launch. Bu …

Part Two, there is three tappings, gas in from gas canister, gas out to burner, and boiler steam pressure in from boiler. Hopefully, you have a spare steam tapping on the top of your boiler, if not cut the pipe to the steam engine and fit a …

Hi Murlough, well that was a bit of a surprise and a shock to the system to learn that your engine is ONE INCH bore times two, and a 5" diameter boiler into the bargain. I am now aware that that is not a small bath but it is a large boat, a …

The launch engine is 1" bore and 7/8" stroke x 2. I have run it on the boiler in the picture that came from Pendle Steam Boilers who are just down the road from me. It is 5" diameter with 2 burners. It ran ok on test and I only want it to r …

I will take up the advice about a servo gas valve , this is something I had not thought of. My other dilemma is -- should I build a boiler feed pump and water tank.? As I see it the boat will only probably be sailed for a max of 10 minutes …

Thank you for that and very much appreciated, a few more of the same would not go amiss. That is a really nice-looking engine, pleasantly complex, and very interesting. A great bit of engineering there, and a very nice shiny rotary disc val …

Hi Derek, That's a very nice looking engine, well done. One thing I would recommend is to fit a servo actuated gas shut off valve. Have you thought about doing a build log? Cheers, Stephen.

Thanks for all the advice folks. I had never thought of BBQ paint. I see Screwfix have it along with Red Oxide. May well get a tin of each and give it a go, In answer to Gary`s post the engine is a ST Launch that I made about 30 years ago b …
