Hello all,

I'm building a 3" Plastow Folwer and need help in finding someone to roll a smokebox up for me. Its 7 1/2 OD 3/16 wall and 6 inches long.

Could anyone suggest someone who could help?

Regards

Gary

Welcome aboard Gary,

I would suggest Geoff Capes… I'm sure someone with a big set of rolls could help if you let us know the area you are in.

Not that close but Ashby do some nice rolling and can send the item mostly steel wheels for model traction engines, specticle plate folding, etc but should be no problem doing a smokebox, they do the wheels for MJ Engineering.

Probably have to come out of 5mm sheet but should be easy enough to adjust the chimney saddle or if there is a spacer ring between the boiler and box then get it rolled to the right OD.

Thank you, I was going to ask Alan who did his wheels! I shall give them a call.
