Re: New hawse hole pieces for Rainbow

Hi Bart,

the parts look good. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any prices on the foundry's website. Where can I check?

Re: Steam engine from the North Caucasus

Hi,

looks interesting.
... The Linux CNC program is already installed on this machine? it is simple and I can learn it quickly.

Re: Steam Thistle Cluaran

Hi Russ,

thank you for the data, very interesting.

Re: My column-style steamengine

Hi Kelly,

thank you for the comment.

I have redesigned the piston and its rings. There was at first one O-ring as piston-ring. To achieve a better seal, i made a new piston in which i was able to install two X-rings as piston rings.

Re: Blackstaffe Woes

Hi Barry, thank you for the picture. The flames are really close to the watertubes. I have refitted some years ago a little gas burner for a KRICK steam engine with a "cover plate" to improve the Heat transfer to the boiler and to protect the flame from blowing out. The cover plate was made from 3 m...

Re: Blackstaffe Woes

Hi Bary, thank you for the answer. One more question about the burners, is there a type plate or do you have any information about it?
