As most of you may know by now, I plan on building a steam crane as my end of course practical. I plan on using a boiler similar to the Wilesco D455 to power it, but with a few modifications built in. So, if someone who owns a Wilesco D455 could give me dimensions for the following in millimetres I would be most grateful:

Boiler external diameter (excluding sight glass)

Flue internal & external diameter

Height of boiler from base of boiler to top of boiler

Height of boiler from base of boiler to top of flue (just under the spark arrester)

Thanks in advance,
Simon
