Now I can add me to the one's who own a steam boat
This one i picked up from an old gentleman in hamburg.
Got it quite cheap, he made it ALL himself...
Did not try it to run, but sure it should float and and work.

Very nice Mirko!
How big's the boat? How big is the engine in comparison to say a Mamod?

Very nice.
It seems an odd but apt place to put the oiler.

That looks more sensible than the top heavy looking, vertical boilers.....

You don't know how big a playmobil man is? 
Okay, the boat is ca. 40cm long, 25 on the widest spot and 30 cm on the highest spot (chimney)
By the way, this seems to be a rough copy of hamburgs tugboats 
The engine has almost 1" bore, so should be quite powerful.
I just have to make a nice little flag for the boat (it belogs behind where the small man sits)
