Several books by LBSC cover silver soldering for model boiler construction
in great detail. The ones on building "Tich" and "Virginia" have the most
detail. I don't know if either book is currently in print.

Is there any websites on the net about silver soldering boilers??

As one who has made quite a lot of boilers, but who now farms out the work
as my boiler maker can make them cheaper than I can (!), I can state with
certainty that the most important part of the job is the TESTING. This is
where you simply must not cut corners.

In looking at the Handy Harmon Brazing book, I came across the following
entry for Soldering Filler Metals.
To the list members:
Harry Wade, an engineer/architect and experienced model engineering boiler
maker has been monitoring the conversation and offers the following
thoughts. IMHO I think he makes an intelligent case for keeping the
conversation on an instructional level, not a paranoid level.
Introduction
I am new to this List, but not so new to
live steam. I acquired and built a Roundhouse Engineering kit for the
Colonial engine 0-6-0 about 14 years ago and it saw little use until about
six months ago. Then I had

I would assume with the raised wooden structures the locos would remain
cleaner and not collect as much dirt.
Welcome to this list. The major reason in addition to the ones you
stated is
Thank you for posting Harry's message. He states our case very well. I
have known Harry for 10 years now and find he is usually right on the
mark. As he builds model boilers for part of his lively hood he is well
qualified to make his remarks.

Hallo Steve,
Welcome! How well I know the "old" Castaic, when there wasn't much but the
"Feather River" project going on--I was more underground than above!
You said:"In the few web pages devoted to small scale

Mike,
Care to let us in on who your boiler maker is?
Harry Wade does a fantastic job with boilers, but I understand his work
demands a premium price which is a little out of price range for me
personally.
Later,

Thank you Jim for passing on Harry's very to the point message on model
boilers. Also, Mike is quite correct that testing is of paramount necessity.
Those of you who are just learning about boiler making should read the books
available and not fear trying it. I think the most important
As he builds model boilers for part of his lively hood he is well

Harry is one of the best-qualified people I know to speak on the subject of
small-scale steam boilers. But he'd laugh at the characterization of boiler-
making as part of his livelihood -- I
Like so many others on the list, I too have heard the "urban legend" about a
friend of a friend who had a small boiler erupt. That's probably all it is. A
legend. In fact the only proof that I've ever seen is of a 1:1 scale steamer. ( I
have pictures of that one if anyone is interested. SCARY!)
Phil,
Solidworks is a great program-at$ around 5,000. I am using the program for
work.

Royce,
Sorry for the delay in answering, I have just re-surfaced after a move.
Yes, SolidWorks is a great program. I recently finished an evaluation of three
parametric solid modeling packages for work and choose SolidWorks as our new
modeling/design tool. I have to admit, I created a few
