What a fabulous amount of information, Marc! Many thanks.
I must say the AH&D two drum - two winch would certainly fit the job very well. And with the much simplified rivetting pattern, it wouldn't be a drama to restart from zero.
I'll have to think to it seriously. Is there any place in your catalog with more dimensionnal data (length, width of the frame, maybe a scale elevation)?
I'll allways find a way to use the Willamette project, and the Willamette catalog I've just ordered.

Wow, thanks for posting all that detailed info, Marc! That single drum hoist, could it be used as a mine hoist?

Frederic :
No scale drawings so far. Will look some more. Al Armitage and Some others did scale plans for these types of hoist engines.

Ray:
In a pinch you might be able to, but there are actually specific ones desogned for mines....I have them somewhere in one of my catalogs....they tand to have lerger spool capacity, and they are lever controlled.  Many of them do not have a bouler, as in a mine the steam would be supplied by the main boiler/boilerhouse. I will post them whan I run across them.
