Hi all,

I have been pawing over my Boxhill drawings in particular the boiler drawing and realise that this is obviously different to the little boilers ive been making so far. I am struggling to identify where all of the stays start and finish, The 23 per side I assume bridge between the inner and outer sections of the fire box, but im not sure about the longtitudal stays( 7 or 8), the crown plate stays, and the tube plate stays.

Can someone point me in the right direction please??

thanks in anticipation

Hi Dennis

Thats excellent news thank you. If its not too much trouble I would be delighted to receive a copy as you suggested.

Im not familiar with the forum protocol yet so not sure if you do these sort of things "off group" or not?

Either way if you let me know the cost as soon as you know I will whisk off payment by return.

Do you know the title of the thread referring to drawing errors?

Hi All,

My name is Bob Thompson and I am new to the forum.

For the last 4/5 years i have been building and running 16mm steam locomotives and have decided that before i depart this planet i would like to have a go at building something a bit bigger.

I have decided that I rather like the look of the 5" gauge Boxhill Terrier as designed by Martin Evans.

Now my question.

I have a set of drawings, but Martin serialised the build notes in Model Engineer in 1963/64 and these are too old for ME to search out.

Does anybody have a copy or access to this series of articles??
