I dont know how acurate the following info is...
The boat isnt finished yet and some bits are work in progress.
Hopefully it will help.
The boiler is an inch and a half tube, the end caps are obviously bigger.
It is four and five eights long
The prop and rudder are the same sizes as the Snipe.
The rudder is an inch and three eights by three quarters.
The prop is an inch and a quarter across.

Phantom, the pics are pure gold, thanks.
Can you do me another favour, can you measure up the firebox. Length, height and width?
Currently got the car in pieces, fitting a new heater matrix, then 15 no 1 1/16 14TPI Crown Stay Nuts to make for my steam roller. Then hopefully I'll get on with it.
And yes many thanks guys the prize landed. |

Glad you got your polisher OK! Next time maybe well try boat parts as they seem to be really popular at the moment.

Typical Bowman design.
The firebox is simular in design to the Snipe only smaller.
Length = three and a half inch
Hight = two inch
Width = one and three quarter,s
The outer heat shield is
Length = four and a half inches
Hight = one and three quarters
Width = three inches
Hope this helps. |
