Hi I live in New Zealand and have just built a Ray Hasbrouck design No5 twin cylinder engine I am looking to build a boiler next and hope to fit it all into a Selway Fisher Indian Runner, there is a mould handy to where I live. I am enjoying reading through the forum subjects

Welcome to the forum!! You'll find all sorts of good advice and varied opinions here. Now I have to look up all the information on your hull and engine!

Hi Noel,
Welcome to the forum. there are a coupole of us from New Zealand on here, both Paul Eaton and myself are in the Auckland area. Where abouts are you? I presume South Island as I think a few Indian Runners have been built down there?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Noel,

Welcome to the Forum.

I've just ordered a set of No 5 plans, should be here any day now. Could be interesting to compare notes later.

Hi All,
Just working out how this forum works and just realizing I have been asked some questions, I live in Timaru South Canterbury South Island, I got interested in steam boats after visiting The Nelson Lakes Classic Boat Show so got on the internet Found the Ray Hasbrouck site and ordered the plans for the No 5 and they are excellent plans and instructions took around 350 hours [10 months] to build. I have a Emco Maximat 11 lathe with mill attachment and a Seig SX3 mill all the machining was done on them. I have had the engine running for 4 hours on steam supplied from a Traction Engine at our Traction Engine Society club day I am now hoping to build a boiler and a big ? a boat, or might just build a Elliot Bay Triple or the Camden AA Leak for something to do.

Noel.
