Should be able to pick them up on e-bay, I also think one of the Best of ME had the whole series in it which would just be one mag to buy.

EDIT Best of Model Engineer Vol II has the build article and drawings in it, see the current "Drawing Anomilies" thread for some errors

Thanks for the reply Jason. The only problem is that I have checked any and all threads relating to "Drawing Anomalies" and other errors and such.and I haven't come across any info. I will check E-bay, etc.

Hi Bob,

I built a Vulcan beam engine entirely from fabrications, including the flywheel and "A" frames. The engine was awarded a bronze medal at the 2002 ME Exhibition and a photograph appeared on the cover of ME number 4190, 6th March 2003. The only modifications that I made to the design was to correct a couple of dimensional errors on the drawings published in the magazine. I only run the engine on compressed air because I fabricated the cyilnder assembly from steel and I am concerned that this will rust if the engiine is steamed.

Hi Norman, I'm glad to find a constructor of the Vulcan Beam Engine. Is there any way to find the original article in M.E.? I know it was an Edger Westbury article in the M.E. volume111, 1954 and volume112, 1955. My brother has the castings but needs the instructions to complete the model. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for any assistance Craig Morley

Thread: headstock link belt

Thanks fellas for the info and advice. I will find a source over here (Ontario, Canada) and post results. Also I should correct my initial post and identify my lathe as a Super 7, not ML7.
My bad. I've been reading too many posts. Cheers Craig

Anyone have any advice on using a link belt for the headstock drive on a ML7. Any preference of brand or where to purchase ? Thanks for any info. Craig
