The big question is How long for ? A number one is a big engine for a little boiler it will start it and maybe run for demo purposes fro a few seconds

Not sure of the details of a 104 boiler, did you mean 504?

In either case my catalogue does not show any of their boilers being suitable for a No1 but would depends on what you mean by "RUN" is it for display only or to do actual work.

If you are indeed refering to a 504 boiler then not a chance. As a spirit fired boiler it is relatively low output. If you were to add two of my brass burners you might stand a chance but even then it wouldnt run for long. At 3.5" diameter by 9" boiler barrel theres a lot of water with not a lot of heating surface area. And as for my twin flue 5" boiler – same response, simply not big enough. With a 2" bore x 2" stroke you are looking at a very powerful (1/2 hp) motor which needs a lot of steam. Minimum 6" vertical coal fired would be my starting point. As stated above, it all depends on what you want it to do.
