Elliot Bay Triple Expansion Engine Website

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Elliot Bay Triple Expansion Engine Website

Post by cowiepeters » Sun Aug 21, 2011 2:24 am

I chronicled the building of my EB triple on a website from 2001 - 2004

The site went missing a few years ago when my service provider deleted free hosting from my plan and my technical savvy stopped me from attaching it to another site I administer.

It's back again at: http://www.steamboat.com.au/EB%20Triple ... /index.htm

Although it hasn't been updated and some of the movies refuse my attempts to get them to load there is still a fair bit of information there for people who are interested in this magnificent engine

Hi Peter, that's great, glad you've managed to post it again, but unfortunately your link on here doesn't seem to work. I did manage to find the page though, through the base site.

Thanks Mike,

The address is correct but the forum doesn't like spaces in an address

I have fixed it (Thanks Ron Fossum!!!)

Hello Peter!

Lovely boat! I just wanted to suggest that it might be easier (and cheaper in terms of bandwidth) to upload movies to youtube and simply embed a little player in your website, or even link to the youtube page. It would save you the trouble of sorting out formats and such, if you don't mind having the videos in such a public location.

Thanks al,
The original website was up before YouTube and I will probably take your advice and bring it up to date by posting the bids on YouTube an linking the two.
Thanks again,
Peter
