Hi again Ramon, I've found a way to get the URL of the photo using Internet Explorer which is probably what you are using? Right click on the photo and click on 'Properties' This will bring up a page showing details of the type of photo etc. but will also have the Address (URL) of the photo as well. Right click on the address and click 'select all'. This will highlight the address e.g. lh4.ggpht.com/_XuA0NMLYOxg/SRlcPB9uv6I/AAAAAAAAAMM/qngrssKn3wk/s640/Throp%2002.tif.jpgRight click again on the highlighted address and click 'copy' and then paste the address between the image brackets in your post. Hopefully, that should work  John |

John, life can be so satisfying when you know what you're doing as you so obviously do. I envy your computer awareness. As you can see it works! Thank you for solving this problem on my behalf. To get back to the nitty gritty then, for those n the UK there is a very nice example of a Hick Hargreaves corliss valved engine in the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum (just south of Norwich) Though a very frequent visitor to the museum in the past I do not have any pics of the engine but the images are from the museum booklet. The museum is open on the first Sunday May thru Oct and has several well maintained engines most of which are in steam on the open days. Once a year, though the date can vary a bit, the museum holds a 'Model Engineers Day'   There, you see - easy peasy!! Thanks again John - truly great help. Regards - Ramon |

Hello!
I have a twin tandem compound (slide valve LP) in build, with twin air pumps. All I need now is a tank transporter to move it.
Regards,
H.

Hi H.
Nice to hear someone has finished one.
Question...... do you have enough space in your house to display it? Or does it have to live in a box?
I was thinking about commissioning a coffee table to house mine when it is finished.

That model will surely put many others to shame.
Well up to exhibition standards.

I simply have to join in - Gordon Bennet, and other unprintable exclamations, that is a thing of beauty, and that flywheel! - I do like a nice piece of wood.
Congratulations!

That is a truly stunning model, Walter.
If you want another one to do there is a 1:1 scale Corliss mill type engine at Anson Engine museum that needs some fettling last time I looked. It has a condenser running off the LP cylinder. I have a picture of the HP cylinder and valve gear if you are interested. The cylinder lives in a 'box' with brass edging just the same as in your model. The trip mechanism is yet another variation from yours and different again from the Forncett Corliss - which has a fairly original linkage AFAIK - I think I have photos of that if anyone is interested. Steam up at Forncett on May 2nd !
There must be enough different Corliss designs to keep this thread going for years.

There certainly were many varieties of valve gear for Corliss engines. Many engine builders used their own design of valve gear, each claiming to be better than the next.
