Fleischman Boiler - Model 135/2

Steamboat Willie · Fleischman Boiler - Model 135/2

Hello!
I recently purchased a boiler which our very own Whistleman was able to identify for me in a flash as a Fleischman 135/2.

It was minus its chimney, burner and whistle, tap, filler plug and pressure gauge.

(On reflection, it did have some metal bits, paint and a couple of little nuts and bolts, and was full of top quality Queensland air...)

I am having trouble identifying the threads of the mounting holes for these fittings. They do not seem to be 1/4x40, any ME, 2BA, 5x0.8mm metric or any ww thread I can find.

Can someone much wiser than I possibly shed some light on what these threads might be, or direct me to where I might find out please? Would BSP thread come into the equation? Also, can anyone tell me where any of the missing bits and pieces may be available from please? In return, I can tell you that the boiler holds 1.257142mms of water when totally full. (I just thought you might like to know that...).
Many thanks fellow steamers!

The threads will be metric, whatever they are. No BSP etc. I believe most of them should be either M6x0.75 or M5xsomething.

Try screwing Wilesco parts into the holes to check. The Wilesco SV is M6x0.75, the whistle is M5. I'm pretty sure the Wilesco SV will fit the Fleischmann.

Good luck.

I assume you meant 1.25 litres, not millimeters? That's a big boiler.

i recently checked the SV thread on mine to be M6x0.75.

Do you have a picture of the boiler ?
