Large Boiler ‘Tich’ 3-1/2″ gauge Partially Completed Steam Locomotive Project
LBSC ‘Tich’ design

This is a large boiler ‘Tich’ started many years ago in Kingston by David Page.

From the photo and brochure included in the 1977 revision of the LBSC Tich building manual,
I suspect that David was planning to make it in the style of the Muskoka Heritage Place 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive.

As can be seen in the photos, there was a light coating of rust on much of the steel but I have managed to remove most
with a chemical de-ruster and wire brush on the footplate and cab. Have not done anything with the chassis.

Included are:

Full set of drawings. LBSC book “Simple Model Locomotive Building – TICH” (1977 revised paperback)
A cast grate, complete finished silver soldered boiler (No boiler certificate, but it looks to have been well made),
copper smokebox, cast smokebox door, two cast chimneys
Very good mechanical lubricator
Erected chassis with wheels on axles, pump, eccentric, saddle, left-hand cylinder and some motion parts fitted
Nicely riveted cab and separate roof, running boards, rods fitted
Right hand cylinder, piston very good fit, both end caps, links, and motion for rest of the Walschaerts valve gear
Some copper/brass fittings as in photos – tees, elbows. Card pattern for saddle tank
Copper 3-1/3” x 5” x ¼” two pieces suspect for ends of saddle tank?
Copper sheet 6” x 14-½” x 1/16” one piece not sure what for?
Brass 1/8” x 1-½” x 9-½” Brass 1/8” x 2” x 12”
