The Steamboating Forum

Greetings to the forum participants! I'm on the forum again after the winning of Covid-19. Working under the project. Kindly find the pictures attached.

You are alive!! So happy.

Also wold like to thanks Mike for being happy with me.

Continuation. I managed to finish the steam flange, besides i have already finished valve box mechanism.

And this is the work under the cylinder cover.

Glad you're both alive!

Looking good. Getting closer and closer...

Yes indeed I will second that. Nice to see that you are still working on the engine. I do like the 'bits' as everything is large and looks just like I feel steam engines should look. I appreciate the skill that goes into making tiny engines but the big ones have the gretest appeal for me. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Regards

I welcome all forum participants, especially those who give me advice and recommendations for the further promotion of my project. Despite the unfavorable circumstances, I continued the external processing of the cylinders. This work is visible in the photo. The cylinder has become 2,5 kg lighter.

A general approximate view of the steam engine is also on the photo. The bronze fittings (elbow pipes) are 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The copper pipe is the same size. Advise to what extent it is necessary to increase the diameter of the copper pipe between the cylinders? Is a receiver between the cylinders really necessary?


The length of the copper pipe is 0.5 meters, the diameter is 1 1/2 inches. The approximate volume of steel pipes with bronze elbows is about 1,000 cm3. ( 1 liter)
This volume is equal to the volume of the high pressure cylinder.
