Worldwide  -  Sales & Wants

This is the place to find boats and equipment that are available outside the UK.  It will initially be populated by material that the Web team find on fellow steam boating sites.  However, we hope that non UK SBA members and other readers with things of a steam boating nature to sell will send details and photos to 'adverts at steamboatassociation do co dot uk.  There is no charge for this service.  Information contained in these advertisements is published as received by the editor.  It is the buyer's responsibility to check the accuracy of any details published.   Please let us know when your item is sold. Advertisers wishing to continue their advert should inform us of that periodically and the advert will be left in place. We will cull old adverts unless asked that they should remain. 

We would also welcome feedback about whether you think this innovation is a good thing, how it could be improved and so on.

Please also look at Miscellaneous Sales as Hugh Mothersole has just put up a whole range of useful items.

Pearl & Zenith Foundry Patterns

The Pearl Engine and the Zenith Engine foundry patterns are for sale. All are well proven for use by foundries or in a small shop.

The Pearl 2 ½ by 3 and the 2 ½ + 2 ½ by 3 engines as well as the Zenith 2 ½ by 5 engine are precise replicas of classic marine steam propulsion. These engines have been well accepted for decades.

The patterns are on match plates and ready for immediate use. The patterns can be removed from the match plates and just the patterns with their core boxes can be shipped very economically.

The patterns and core boxes have been professionally produced and work well. The supplied machining drawings can be easily re-produced.

Images of all the patterns and core boxes can be viewed there as well as videos of the engines running.

Will consider an offer for all or part.
