Introduction

[John Marshall]

Hi, I am a very amateur hobby machinist. I retired ten years ago, and I enjoy making model steam engines. I have had a look at the beautifully made beam engine models. I am looking for a set of metric drawings to save conversion.
Thanks
John

Welcome John, glad to have you.

I am not a metric person, but don't have beam drawings either.

I have been working on a 3D model for one of the side beam engines for the US Naval Boat "Mississippi".

And I have a few old prints of beam engines.

Perhaps someone here can help you out.

Welcome,
Depending on the complexity you are looking for try searching the net under julius de waal plans, you should find a number of beam engine designs and he works mostly in metric.
