Model boiler

(1/2) > >>

Pakrattuk:
Hello, bit of an odd request but I'm looking for a source for a representation of a boiler, not an actual working model, just something that looks like a boiler (preferably a twin burner horizontal type). This is for a retirement gift for a work colleague who is about to retire and just a small memento of his time in our boiler house. We have 4 15MW Cochran twin burner boilers and looking to get a small model of one of them, something like a salesman type model or the like. Hope someone might be able to help.
TIA
Cheers

Pretty easy request to solve,

Since you work in a boiler room there has to be copious pipe fittings and instrumentation fittings and tube, cobble something together that looks to scale and spray paint to finish.

Pakrattuk:
Thanks for the reply, yes it might come to that but not a lot of time left but still might be possible. Might try contacting Cochrans themselves to see if they have anything suitable, not looking for anything extravagant, a plastic representation would do as its just a keepsake, not his actual retirement present, but like the idea of using fittings.
Cheers

If you do contact Cochrans, ask if they have a good quality print or photograph that you could get framed. Sure to be something in their sales department?
    I realize it's not a model boiler as you requested but could make a great memento.

May not be exactly what you're after, but this just popped-up on JS's "homeworkshop" site
