Vulcan Beam Engine

Edited By Bob on 03/08/2009 07:55:42

Hi Bob,

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

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

Hi Bob,

You could try Brunell Steam Models. He lists the construction notes, (photocopies of the original ME articles) for about £6.00. Just make sure you pay by Paypal so you can get a refund if the goods don't arrive! I recently acquired a set of Vulcan castings from Graham which included the construction notes.

Regards, Martin.

There is another thread on the Vulcan under drawing anomalies

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.

cheers Craig

Craig, I sent you a PM about the Vulcan articles in Model Engineer - did you get it? It was the first time I've used it so not sure if it worked...
