another one arrived today, the first thing i was supprised at the size of it
it has an old mamod boiler which need attention as it's split but all the gearing works okay, also i need to make a rudder for it
all in all it's not that bad and will make a nice winter project

What a nice, elegant looking craft.

Any chance of some pics of the engine unit, Jay?

Thats better Jay, looks like apart from the split end cap all it needs is a good wash and brush up!
