I agree with you regarding new rivets.

My one concern would be the legalities of him building his own boiler, but I
assume he has checked that out. In any case, I would guess that he is making
a part of the boiler, and using some existing items, which may well be
different from a wholly new construction.

As for the off-topic question, I have always said, models, engineering and
home workshop and generally,  full size steam, are OK. After all, that is
only a rather large model !

Hi there All,

A friend of a friend (isn't it always the way) is wanting to do a bit of
traction engine boiler building.

I realise that this isn't model engineering, but I hope the group won't
mind my posting this, as it is loosely related (Alan et al - if you're not
happy then feel free to hit the delete key rather than posting it).

Yours,
Rich.
