I'm very grateful for this information and advice Phil. Thank you!

Very observant of you! My understanding is that Dad based his design on one of the French-designed engines that he observed when working in Nigeria in the 1960s.

Regarding the pressure testing, I know that Dad had it successfully tested, but I have found no evidence to prove that.

Thanks so much for your replies. I've uploaded some photos of the drawings to my album on this forum, and also to my Flickr account **LINK**

I haven't found any drawings of the traction engine wheels yet.

The engine is currently located in Chepstow (not too far from Bristol). I live in Devon.

As you say br, there is some fine workmanship in that engine. I already have a number of Dad's projects though, and simply don't have room for this. I also think it should be worked on, rather than gathering dust in my spare room.

Thanks again

Richard

Hi everyone,

I wonder whether you could give me some advice. My father, over many many years, was building a steam engine. Sadly he passed away before it was completed, it's fallen to me to find a good home for his work.

I've uploaded soome photos to the album associated with my account. There are more photos on my Flickr account https://flic.kr/s/aHsmTzQrov

What would be the best way about finding a good home for this? eBay doesn't seem appropriate really. I'm more concerned about finding a new appreciative owner than maximising any value.

Really appreciate your thoughts,

Thanks

Richard
