Thread: Davy Tandem Blowing Vertical Steam Engine
09/05/2022 01:22:52

Thank you so much everyone.

Yes, it is a Davy Bros Engine, made in Sheffield, who I believe are out of business now.

From what I can tell, there may be information held in the national archives in the UK on Davy Engines.

Not being in England makes it a little more difficult. If someone has more information on the 45’&90’ x 60’ tandem I would really appreciate it.

Hey all,

My name is Lee Wiggins and from Australia. I have always been very interested in modelling and have been practising my machining skills and building small steam engine kits. I drive full-size Steam locomotives as a hobby and employed as an Electrical Engineer.

It is time to start my dream project of creating a working model (as far as steam engines go) of the original Blast Furnace in Australia, Lithgow Blast Furnace.

My starting point is the 45' & 90' x 60' Tandem Vertical Blast Engine.

I have a set of drawings for the engine but the quality is far from ideal.

Any information anyone has on these engines and where I am able to get further information from would be truly appreciated.

Here is a link to the drawings I have

Thanks

Lee
