K.N. Harris steam engine plans

[jim ReedParticipant @jimreed56032]

Does anyone know if plans for the K.N.Harris 3" scale launch engine as depicted in his book Model Stationary and Marine Engines are sold by anyone currently? He mentions in the book that plans were supplied by Greenly Model Engineering. Are they still in business? Jim Reed

Have a word with Maxitrak, they hold the Greenly archive and do list a couple of boat engines (in the tractioon engine section? )

This one is based on teh Greenly vertical launch design and looks like that is the 3" Harris one.

Jim,

An interesting and worthwhile quest, I would think.

I see that Mr Harris mentions that it was an exact scale model of a full-size engine that he designed … so the plans should be good!

Could this be what you are looking for, Jim ?

Thanks everyone for your help. I found the plans on at Maxitrak. They had one set left which I ordered.
