Boiler and gas tank testers appointed by the 16mm Association
 16mm logo

The boilers on 16mm scale steam locomotives are generally small and operate at relatively low pressures. For these reasons, boiler failure is rare. Nevertheless, it is good engineering practice to test all home-constructed boilers prior to use and also to test every boiler periodically.

Please check your boiler complies with the Insurance Cover Provided For Members.

The 16mm Association has provided a boiler testing kit to the following Area Groups:
