Freelance 3/4” traction engine
Team ricky:
It’s been a while :)
Moved house and just picked up some project work now !
Here’s the boiler close to finished, I did luckily find a better boiler shell and fire box on eBay which im much happier soldering and finishing
I’ve just finished soldering the main areas and leak checked briefly at 60 psi and alls good so far !
Just the blow down bush to solder in and it’s ready to test at full pressure
Team ricky:
Couple more
Team ricky:
A little more done / underway :)
Mainly a mock up as I’m not following the plans for the engine/cylinder side of things
I’m going for a simple achievable engine that runs forward only and I will use the steam regulator to set it going!
The cylinder and trunk , bottom cover are made up, The flywheel is good , the crankshaft material is here now so I will probably make that tomorrow ;)
The mamod wheels are ok not brilliant but will get things going, They will look alot better with decent solid rubber added…
Team ricky:
A small part made today ;)
A slightly reduced cross head taken from the Borderer twin engine plans
Looks great so far and will take a good looking connection rod
The trunk guide I made in cast iron and honed the inside just for practice 😉
Team ricky:
Here’s the crank shaft done ✔️
Simple built up crank with taper pins
