![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | It's a good size more like the Breisch one with some nice detail in the fine adjustment for the hammer stroke. There have been several designs for steam hammers published looking through the index so it may well be based on one of those but my collection of mags does not go back to the very early ones. At that time the maker would more than likely made their own pattern and easily found a local foundry to cast the parts. |

LBSC as one of his 'Make a steam toy for the kids at Christmas' models gave a freelance design for a simple steam hammer to use as a nut cracker - sometime in the fifties. After the sherries and brandies etc I can see a queue at A&E forming - Good job there were no breathalisers in those days! |

Please replace the roundhead screws with studs on nuts or at least hex screws. Brian No. Unless this is a scale model of a know full size one. The roundhead screws are part of the original 'as made' design of a model and is of its time and form part of the charm and value. |
