Hi H if the club you refer to use Baggeridge Country Park then yes thats the one i will be joining.

Julian thanks for the advice.I understand that it will be a challenge thats why im going for the rocket.As a pattern maker/tool maker by trade hopefully i have the skills to build the model.To get it to work properly might be a different matter.Most of the casting i will be using lost wax method so shouldnt be to difficult to get good castings.But with help from this sites experienced modelers and wolvo mes i think its achievable.

Regards Neal

Hi all

Im new to live steam so could do with a bit of help please.

Im in the process of cad modelling the rocket in 71/4 gauge.Just to make sure everything fits before i start.But before i go to far what copper thickness should i use for the boiler and firebox.Also can i build the boiler myself and get it tested for a pressure test certificate or does it have to be built professional boiler maker.

Regards

Neal
