So grab a bargain now. My SEL Collection is now going for £150 o.n.o. (Thats only £37.50 per engine) Les Fortunately I have those SELs, but that is a beautiful looking boat. Well done. kusuchi Nice Launch, I have a worldwide 'steam launch' search on e bay, but for some reason that one didn't come up. I had pretty much decided to buy the kit and do the decks in mahogany planking I had left over from another boat.   The planking really makes a difference. Happy Sailing. yellow_jr SOLD SOLD SEL's to kusuchi (Richard) Thanks Richard. I nearly decided to buy the kit but saw the boat on e-bay (comes with a servo fitted to rudder) saved my self a lot of work and looking forward to the launch. Now all I have to do is sort out a receiver and batteries, which I don't know anything  about.    So any hints / advice welcome?

I'm sure there are others with greater expertise, but here's what I know. This is the RC unit that I have: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAP83&P=7 I think a lot will depend on the brand of servo it comes fiitted with.  You may have to get the same brand for connections to match.. The servo connects to a small rectangular receiver which should install under the rear seat. The receiver has an antenna wire. There are a couple of different options shown in this thread: http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopic9492-0-asc-15.php Then there is the battery pack, mine takes four AAs, which connects via an on off switch to the receiver too. The hand held transmitter will usually have at least two channels.  You will only be using one for steering. yellow_jr RC Boat Thanks Richard for your help kusuchi ncseverson wrote: Does Andrew know yet? Not yet, I'll show him soon. I need to put Val in the picture first. In the last 24 hours, I've bought the Mamod Limosine SA1L, four SELs, Philcraft's Lilliput and Philcraft's Jenny Wren I'm also contemplating the Flieschmann 125/4 on Sunday and will be buying the Midwest Fantail as soon as Tower Hobbies have it back in stock. Where are the brakes??????             It is also possible we may have acquired a really extraordinary addition to the fairground.  That, I have shown Andrew, and he's really excited. Speaking of Fairgrounds.  Can you believe this? This whole thing probably won't sell for much over 100 euros. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015 Do we have any german members who would be prepared to front for us? johnreid Wow! Richard, I believe you will have a world class collection real soon. kusuchi No John, Just a real bad case of OCD kusuchi Can't wait to show you Andrew's fairground piece. Now thinking of constructing the base on different levels with small ladders / stairways accessing the different levels and handrails all around.  Showman's will run it. Nick Is it the expensive one???   kusuchi Not the one your thinkng of but more of an antiguity.  Believe it or not it was given to Andrew, through me, as a present by another forum member.   It will certainly be the centerpiece of his collection. Here are the pics; It is also avilable on e bay now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=012 Many thanks to the generosity of the donor.  You have certainly made a small boy very happy. I emailed CTW tonight for the brass handrails , staircases ,etc. we will eventually want for this multi level displayl Nick I need to know!!!       johnreid Oh my that is a real nice one, it has a lot of that old fashioned charm that can not be duplicated with a new one. Andrew is very lucky. Les That is a wonderful little carousel and a piece to be cherished. Andrew is one lucky boy.   mogogear Keep it up Richard - you are my cover story if my wife starts counting boxes that come in ... "What- Honey-? I don't have a problem - look at this poor soul in the Virgin Islands- he needs to come in out of the sun!!"        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> For Sale Page 1 of 1
