This is great, do you think you could make drawings? I would like to build a bigger version, I can think of a number of creative applications for this sort of thing! :D

I love these PMR kits the boiler is a work of art,I assumed it was just a pot boiler till I studied the plans and saw it has proper flues and tubes! Also the mill engine is a lovely unit,from the parts they supply there are a number of ways of building it,either assemble as is or spent more time fettleing it and giving every part the treatment leads to a very fine looking engine,up there with the Stuart offerings.These kits are VERY expensive in the UK unfortunately,the boiler here costs $500+!!

wow id buy that for a billion bucks!! if i had that much....
I'm just about finished building this model boiler....what a project! I had the machine work done for me as I don't have the skills and equipment to do it my self. I did however do all other work. I found soldering the flue tubes to be the most tricky work as they are in odd angels to apply solder/heat. I'd repair a leak, and in-turn create another from the broad flame/torch I used. What did you find most challenging about your boiler project?

@Bgee134 ..............the rivets, have experience in rivets but not on a round tube, had to make my own tooling to get the job done. soldering was the easy part, but I do soldering pretty often.

these are around 1100 to 1200 just in parts before machining.
