Scratch built model, this is now my last as I have another five scratch built steam launches plus steam turbines which are a similar size to this one and the house will not hold any more, Bernadette is rapidly loosing her sense of humour ”its me or the boats”

This boat has a Stevenson link reversing gear, however, I have incorporated a servo operated gearbox as the reversing gear is somewhat delicate. Prop shaft incorporates a thrust bearing, gas is re heated, a 1/4 litre water tank is up front and is filled from the brass hindged cover. Feed pump is a copy of a commercial item and is hand operated. Tested in the bath only (50mm to spare on length) hope to sail soon.
