I noticed that the plans give their Henley-on-Thames address, they have been in Guernsey, Channel Islands, for years now.
What casting kit have you got??

Hi Les , i got the engine driven feedwater pump and the Reversing Gear kit , both kits require good accuracy when machining in the lathe and mill , so i`m practicing my skills on less important work b4 i tackle them .

Thanks Logoman , i think the boiler must have been overfull and running at lower pressure than i had hoped , but it comfirms that i need a new , bigger boiler , so i will make a 4" underfired boiler first , then a 4" centreflue boiler after i have got my boilermaking techniques up to speed .

The S-50 runs a treat, did you machine it yourself or was it already machined for you??
