I know this is a very old post but if you still need plans I have some.

hopperwhistle I sent you private message.

 

[hopperwhistle]

I messaged you back yesterday. If you didnt get it I’ll try again.

Any chance you'd sell digital copies?

 

[hopperwhistle]

If I knew for sure that they were not covered by any type of trademarks or copyrights I might consider selling a few copies. If someone is currently building this model and needs information I will share details on the parts they need.

I have a complete set, 25 sheets, of Coles Steam Fire Engine, a complete set of building notes and material sheets, 13 sheets and the assembly drawing for the water pump and steam chests. If I can locate a couple of boxes in my storage area I do have some castings, side frames, water pump, steam chests, expansion tank, fly wheels, plus other parts when I can get in boxes. I would sell.

See what I mean about Cole's, such a rare kit and drawings. I wish someone would/could offer digital files. The sad thing is, these Cole's patterns are probably rotting away in a barn in Texas.

Do you still need prints Portlandron? I found mine today... Its an intimidating stack of paper...

I would love a set of plans. I have have a set of plans for vertical boiler I could share, assume no copy right, from saturated steam out of Florida I bought 40 years ago. Just now getting around to building it. 54 tubes with super heater, about 18" tall.
