Steam pressure (2011/11/22 9:14:45)
I would like to get an idea of boiler pressures in relation to engine size and boiler size. What is the accepted range of pressure for say a 1" scale and a 3" scale model and what type of boiler is used to get what type of pressure?
I believe that in full scale engines pressure ranged from 30 psi to 1600 psi.
What is the effect of scaling down models on design pressure?
Do 1/2 scale models have 1/2 the amount of pressure? What is the relationship?
Can anyone enlighten me?

Once the rain had cleared we moved on to the main field away from the stalls and towards the vintage fairground. A fine example of rides where present including a cakewalk, gallopers, big wheel, chair-o-planes, dodgems and other side stalls, a good display with none of this modern crap you get at the large rallies. I noted previously as we entered this area the Burrell Scenic Showmand Road Locomotive #3888 'General Gough' standing proud next to it's Organ generating so I wandered over to it for some photo's, I believe this is the first time they have had a Scenic a ...
