Good day to you all.
Today was a good day as my Anton Bohaboy Workhorse engine arrived. Seen herewith hopefully a photo in its pre loved condition. Lashings of oil later and the application of a little compressed air, off she went, runs really well.
I have seen somewhere online a
post showing as a backdrop a copy of the original drawings supplied with the castings, can anybody on here help me with a copy of these? Reasonable copying expenses of course gladly paid if you can help...please?
Cheers
Sirius.
Congrats! Those are great running little engines.
Thank you Gil, yes I'm super pleased with it, just wish I had spotted the Bohaboy boiler for it elsewhere in the sale 🥺doh!!
Many of the screws are socket heads, I'd like to revert to fillister heads.
Don't suppose you know what threads were suggested/ used?
Nice looking engine and one I don’t yet have… I think I glanced at the listing because I remember the pulley, had I taken a closer look, I probably would have bid too! Congrats!!
Thanks Nick, a little tlc and she will be right 😊👍
Do you have any Bohaboys?
😊👍 Good luck in your hunt then.
I've had several Bahaboys, never had a bad runner yet.
Yes everyone seems to say that. Puzzles me a little as many must have been built from the casting kits and not everyone is a good machinist.
My Old Faithful arrived and didn't run at all..but it was just the timing that needed sorting. Do you have any photos of yours you could share? 😊
Here is my only little A. Bohaboy vertical.
I've only ever run it on air, but it ran easily and well!

Hi Stoker, thanks for the photos, that looks fantastic!
I'm assuming those that are signed on the flywheel were made by the man himself. Alas mine are not marked in this way I shall have to keep searching.
Either that or just sell me yours LOL (-;
Thanks again, great to see!
Here are a couple of my Bohaboy steam engines.
I still have the 1x1 single.
The 1x1 twin is in a new home.

Thank you Gil, that 1x1 is very smart, is that plated?
That 1x1 is beautiful Gil!!
