That sounds like an interesting model. I will make a point of looking at it. alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.alanstepney.info Model Engineering, Steam Engine, and Railway technical pages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter J. Cathcart" <peter.cathcart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <modeleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2004 7:38 AM Subject: [modeleng] Steam Driven Tug For anyone interested in boat boilers there will be an interesting item on the IDSME stand at Sandown Park and Alexandra Palace One of our members, Peter Reynolds, decided to build a steam engine for a boat. The steam engine is the important bit but he had to build a boat round it. The boat, a tug, is finished and the engine, oil fired, is well underway. Peter is one of those individuals who is not interested in building something which people say works. Instead he likes to build engines of his own design which everyone else says will not work. The tug itself is magnificent. What is inside is fascinating. The engine will not be finished but there will be enough to fascinate those interested in engine design.
