I am building Don Youngs 5" Adams O2 'Fishbourne' and have reached the boiler stage. I intend to get this professionally made. There was a thread here in 2015 about UK boiler makers recommending Western Steam (who appear to be the Rolls Royce but waiting list 2 years!!) GB boilers (recommended) and Chedder Steam (uncontactable).

Does anyone know of any other professionals I should short-list for 5" boiler work before I contact Western or GB?

Thank you

Dr Peter Venn

Southern Boiler Works is another, don't expect any to have short waiting lists most will be at least a year.

Why don’t you make it? Sounds as though it would be a lot quicker.
