Al,
      Idiocy perhaps?  If you mean the current boiler project, yes I have
quite a few but I haven't edited them for posting on my picture site yet.
      I have made a quick paper mockup of the wrapper, using a plot
provided me by someone on another list, and it appears that the geometry is
right.
     For anyone interested, the current project is a boiler and
superstructure (fittings, cleading, domes, stack, and full front end) for a
7/8" scale / Ga1 model of Gilpin Tramway #3, a 2-truck 24"ga Shay locomotve.
     The cleading consists of two cylindrical, parallel, non-coaxial
sections, of different diameters, joined by an abrupt conical transition
section.  The boiler itself is also two cylindrical, parallel, non-coaxial
sections, of different diameters, but joined at a flanged head (flat).  My
next-of-kin have already been notified, if I should ever accept something
like this again I am to be marched out back and shot, . . .  or at least
severely scolded.

Regards,
Harry
