I have one - they're very nice bits of kit - unfortunately I've not got the boiler for it.

I bid on a complete one for sale in Australia a few years ago - I didnt win and it eventually sold for around £3,500.

One day, hopefully will find the boiler.

Does mean I can go to Steam rallies with my own steam engine!

Tim

Default steam generator

This is my steam generator,the type mentioned by Ron, I have included the official description of it. if you need any more info do please contact me, This set in its box weighs 100 Lbs. and I was very lucky to meet a signaller who serves in force 136 in Burma and he recognised this set and told me that getting enough dry wood to power up the steam was very difficult in the Naga Hills of Burma and that they requested an air drop of pedal generators instead of the one shown. The Naga ladies would pedal away all day while the men were out spying on the Japs. So in his words, In some long houses and headmans huts in Northern Burma you may still find mint unused steam generators, John.
