STEAM TRACTION ENGINES

We are currently constructing 4 off 4'inch scale B6'es to our own pattern and castings to original Fowler drawings. The blocks steam ports will be full compound V like the original, and fully steam jacketed.

Boilers
These were purchased from AJB Boilers (Tony Baldwin), a great gentlemen to work with, makes fine boilers and delivers on time

Technical drawings
Here's the mass of drawings that I am working from all catalogued and in order!

Rolling the Wheels
Its an ancient old machine but with a bit of brute force it has little difficulty rolling the back wheels. It's a shame it can't roll my back back into shape after using it. Given time I will bring it into the 21st century with a little electrification. 20/04/07 electrification has taken place and the wheel are much easier to roll

Shaping Machine
Cutting the profile of the wheel spokes - smoking!
