[modeleng] Re: Visit to Houston, now Steam turbines, Titanic & Tesla

Hi All

A small Tesla Turbine, about 3-4 inch rotor diameter I think, sold on Ebay
lately for about £150 or thereabouts. If interested Camden Steam Services
do a couple of good constructional guides on TT's, I think they have an
online catalogue now too.


On the subject of engines from the Titanic have a look at the following
site for some pictures and info

cheers
