Photos from the 2005 Men, Metal and Machines model engineering show in Visalia, CA show Jerry demonstrating the crane for a spectator. The second photo shows the crane in "operating" condition. An air line is used to power the crane, as show regulations prohibit the firing of a boiler inside the exhibit hall.

Aug 14, 2018 · Model Boilers and Boilermaking by Karl Noble Harris. It is more than 60 years since the late E. L. Pearce's excellent little handbook " Model Boilermaking " first appeared; it went through many editions but has long been out of print. Naturally, in the interim, many developments have taken place. This book is in the nature of an …

Apr 17, 2011 · I don't know about the construction issues of copper versus steel for boilers but the heat capacity of the metal in a steel boiler wouldn't be an issue. The relevant values, in kJ/kg k are 0.49 for steel against 0.39 for copper. This is insignificant compared to the heat capacity for the water in the boiler at about 4.2 in the same units.

The smoke stack (optional on the model), was made from a piece of 28mm plumbing copper. It was cross drilled so that it could be mounted on the boiler stay at the back of the firebox housing. A special nut (inset) with a long shoulder was machined to both secure the chimney to the model and hold the pressure vessel in place on the firebox.

model-boiler explosions are fortunately rare, if they do occur they may be extremely disastrous. Therefore the following warnings: (1.) Do not use tins or thin sheet iron for boilers. One cannot tell how far internal corrosion has gone. The scaling of 1/100 inch of metal off a "tin" is obviously vastly more serious than the same diminution in
