what a nice spot to do a little boating.
The picket boat looks great at the scale speed of the second video.

It was a nice spot, the only downside is the pond is only about 30ft in diameter so it was a bit on the small side for the Picket boat.

Les, watching your videos has convinced me that I have to get myself a boat.
I have two Wilesco D52 engines, just sitting there doing nothing.
Now if only I could find some plans.

Thought you already had a boat, Phil. 
Great boats, Les. Particularly liked the steam plume on the second video of the Picket Boat.
Is the Harbor Tug electric? Couldn't see any evidence of a steam plant. What is the plant in the Picket Boat.?

The video running of the boats on that pond with the calliope music in the back ground is pure poetry!!

The Harbour Tug is electric and the Picket Boat is powered by a gas fired Cheddar Proteus Steam Plant.

Yes, I do Richard.
But I don't have a boat with a STEAM engine. 
And I have to sit IN this one to steer it.
