Allchin 1 1/2 inch TE - castings etc. wanted

[AlasdairM]

I have just acquired a copy of the drawings and book re the build for the Allchin 1 1/2 inch "Royal Chester" Traction Engine.

Before I go ordering any castings from new I would be interested if anyone has any of these or other relevant items for this TE that they are looking to sell/get rid of.

If anyone wants to follow this up, please send me a PM and I will give you my email address.

Many thanks, Alasdair (Cambridge, UK)

GULP - not sure how vendor arrives at the minimum price - I have seen some really nice finished models going for just over £2,000?

Anyway, thanks for the link - was "interesting"! I would prefer to do most of the build myself, although I will be getting the boiler made professionally as I have only ever done soft soldering and very simple silver soldering, and would not trust any boiler that I put together

Ref your signature - my children (well, aged 18 and 19 this year) refuse to acknowledge any talk about my "workshop" - they insist on calling it my "toyroom"

Regards, A
