Allchin 3" traction engine drawings

[Dan B]

Hi

I recently purchased a part built 3" Allchin traction engine with steel boiler.

I'm after a set of drawings for it so I can finish it off, as it came with no drawings. I was told it was based on the 1.5" drawings with all the dimensions doubled. There are some questions that need answering, particularly regarding the design of the boiler.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Dan

Dan,

You can buy modern prints of the book from Reeves 2000. That's where I got my copy. There are reduced versions of the drawings in the book, along with all of the build instructions.

Regards,
Doug
