Some time back there were some very nice illustrations of loco boilers with stayless fireboxes on this group. I have a friend building a live steamer who would be very interested if the person who put them up could oblige again.
Many thanks, Bob.

However, I seriously doubt that this style of firebox would be suitable for a live steamer. Apart from the complexity of it's design, it probably wouldn't comply with the local miniature boiler code. Perhaps your friend should look at a Briggs-type boiler, which is again largely stayless, and is compliant with most full-size and miniature codes. I take it from your email address that you are in Australia, in which case the AMBSC code is the relevant source of information.
