Boiler identification

| 4 forum posts | Hi, quite new to this but thought I would ask the experts. I have one of my late fathers all copper boilers in 2" scale I understand The diameter of the tube is 4 1/2" and the length 18 3/8" ( 115mm x 465mm). There are 12 copper tubes and the boiler is stamped R.C.285, the maker I guess. The copper is very thick and all silver soldered. I would like to know if possible what traction engine this was made for. Thank you |
