could anyone please help, after building various petrol and nitro engines i have ventured into my first serious steam engine. it is a selve design marine 2 cylinder double acting engine, 28mm bore, 30mm stroke, stevenson reversing gear and i intend fitting a condensor. it is almost complete now & is running nicely on compressed air.

As thoughts are now turning to boiler design i would like to ask what size of boiler should an engie of this siize have, is there a formular or could someone advise.

looking forward to any replies

You need the book about “Model boilers & Boilermaking” by K. N. Harris. There are a lot of information how to calculate and make boiler.
