Thread: Shand Mason fire pump
18/03/2015 16:25:03

To those guys who contacted me back in 2011 I must apologise sincerely. Circumstances beyond my control prevented any correspondence for the past few years. However, I'm pleased to say things are up and running now and I have decided to carry on and finish the 2" Shand Mason. The carriage is complete, the boiler is done and I have just started the lovely job of machining the gunmetal castings. I would be pleased to swap notes with anyone involved in a similar project. I have no time scale on this as the joy for me is in the challenge of making the parts not the end product.

no probs. Ian, I would be interested to watch your progress. I started this project some 10 years ago as an ex firefighter it seemed the thing to do. Time and other projects prevent further progress so I will be advertising it soon. .....John

Hi Ian,
don't know if you are interested but I have a complete set of castings for the 2" scale Shand Mason bought from Reeves some years ago. I have the chassis and wooden wheels complete to a very high standard, a complete copper silver soldered boiler, a full set of drawings and also the original set of Model Engineer magazines featuring the building of this model by Edgar T Westbury. So, the hard bits are all done, all that is left is the machining of the castings, steam fittings etc. I have not costed this out yet but I know the castings alone are now £340 and have no idea what a complet boiler would be. Anyway, if you are interested let me know and we can talk figures.
