Welcome to the Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines - Enjoy!
My gosh, that sure looks like my engine! The engine, the gas tank with supports, the legs, all mine! When he made the vertical hit and miss it looked like my engine also. Maybe he bought the drawings and is making money from my drawings. gbritnell
Hi Jasper,This thread was started by the fellow from China saying that he wants to build a Holt 75 engine presumably to sell. My comment was that it's a direct copy of my engine of which I sell drawings for. I also said that it would be nice if he designed his own engines for sale. I guess I don't understand your confusion?gbritnell
Hi Jasper,I don't have a website. I am member of several of the model engineering forums and have listed the available drawings that I have. The story behind the Holt was that there seemed to be an interest in building the engine but with Coles going out of business no castings or drawings were available. My engine was scratch built and along with that I did a lot of redesigning to improve the functionality of the engine. I decided to make a set of drawings so that it could be made from bar stock. I incorporated all the changes that it needed having built my own. The drawing set is done with Autocad in Imperial 8-1/2x 11 format. This allows the builder to print them out on a home printer. The set is sold as PDF files. On one of the other forums a fellow is building one right now and documenting the build. I will send you a PM and give you my email address so that we can talk without going through the forum all the time. gbritnell

We have never contacted you. I do n’t know where to buy drawings.This is one of my own independently designed engines. This engine is smaller than yours.Jin
