Keith, Could I get a copy of that also? I have been away from building for a while, and want to get back to it.

Peter If you wish, I can send you off-list a drawing (in .pdf format) of a multitube boiler for a meths fired loco. This has been designed by Martin Sheridan for his gauge one locos. I use the design, modified a little for 16mm scale locos and have no problem in raising enough steam. The boiler has four tubes, 10mm external diameter and boasts a wet backhead. There are also up to four cross tubes in the firebox. The drawing is for a loco with a shorter boiler than the project (I think) but can easily be built to a longer length.
