Boilers for replica "Locomobile"

<HTML>Dear Sir,

"We are an engineering company based in Northamptonshire,
UK, who sell large scale engineered models in kit form. Our product range
includes 5" and 7.1/4" gauge steam locomotives, a 1/8 scale Tiger Tank and a full size replica of a 1901 Steam Car.
We are looking to source a company that can produce the boiler for the
replica Steam Car. These boilers are for vehicles that we are supplying to
customers in the USA and these need to be manufactured to ASME regulations and to be certified appropiately and we understand that the ASME "S" stamp will meet these requirements.
We have an initial requirement for 10 boilers and on completion these would be shipped direct from the manufacturing location to the customers own address.
I shall be pleased to hear from anyone wishing to quote for the manufacture of these boilers.
Please contact myself or Steve Baldock, Design
Engineer(steve.modelworks@btconnect.com)
if you need any further information."
We have drawings available as jpegs and these can be forwarded by e-mail to any interested company.


Further details of our company and products can be found

Best Regards,


Thanks,

<HTML>Rolly,

Thank you for your information. I did contact Dillon Boiler a few weeks ago. They are very bust at present and are not interested.

<HTML>Peter, Not sure how you are making out on finding a maker for the Likamobile boilers, but I used Google and went to the Web site of the American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA), and I looked under the category of Watertube Boilers. I found a long list of companies in the U. S. who make boilers. I'm sure these are some of the big guys, and I'm not sure if this helps or not, but just in case.</HTML>
