The Boiler Shop
 
Our wealth of knowledge on Boiler matters has enabled us to offer you Boiler Sets for over 200 different Model Locomotives, Traction Engines and Stationary Boilers covering not only the models listed in our Catalogue, but also those of many other designs. We are also able to offer Flanged Plates and Finished Boilers for many models
 
Boiler Sets (copper only)
These inlcude all material in copper, seamless tube for barrel (where applicable), fire tubes, superheater flues, foundation materials, firehole ring, longitudinal stays, all other flat metal, and ready FLANGED plates marked for designed hole position. Longitudinal, firebox and crown-cross stays are supplied in phosphor bronze rod, unless specified in the model, blower stays are supplied in copper tube only

Copper and Non-Standard Barrels
These can be supplied rolled from flat sheet copper with silver soldered castellated jpint. We suggest those of you who are members of any society clarify whether this type of joint is acceptable by the club's insurance policy. All barrels are fully silver soldered and visually sound, we are unable to pressure test them and cannot be held responsible for any fault caused through subsequent 'brazing' or silver-soldering operations.

Flanged Plates Only
Formed from our steel discs; marked for tube and hole positions, but not drilled. We regret we are unable to mark plates to NON-STANDARD layouts, but will supply unmarked plates on request
