Steam Parts
« on: February 16, 2009, 11:45:30 pm »
Hello,

I'm working on the steam launch I bought on US Ebay. All seems to be there and I've been focused on repairing/replacing the wooden parts. I need to move the boiler and engine a bit further apart. Can anyone provide a  source of supply (in the US preferably) for the basic steam fittings such as pipe, elbows, valves etc. I also need to figure out how to get gas into the tank, and am looking for an electric boiler feed water pump (or manual)

As always, thanks in advance, pictures of the rebuild to follow soon.

Excerpt from  an Email regarding the electric boiler water feed pump...back to the drawing board...

"Brian – I’m sorry but I don’t have anymore systems left. I have ceased production due to a lack of orders. Unfortunately the system is ideal for model boats but I couldn’t find an advertising medium for model steam boats.

I will try contacting Bill to see if there is anything I can do to help him out with his "model steam boat related" advertising for his products.

That's an interesting thought, thanks for yiour help Nick.  Bill is a decent chap, I had a few communications with him last time at work as he is only round the corner in Orlando.
