Paulys steam boats

Just got back from Sunderland where I bought 2 steam boats

Arrow (£130)











Spring queen (£30 incuding steam motor and boiler)





modified meccano boiler and motor





canopy





Im going to put a vertical boiler in (possibly a cheap wilesco 1) because thats what it originally or was intended to have

Verrry nice!    I have just got back from a holiday in Yorkshire, I saw an Arrow in a antiques shop for £349 . I left slowly, as to avoid breaking anything!

Im guessing that the 1 you saw was an original Bowman Arrow this is a modern kit built version

Two very nice additions to your collection, when are you going to start digging the pond?

I'm sure thats one of Chris' decals on that arrow!

That one looks well built Pauly!

A great collection Paul.  Soon you'll be needing a bigger pond ...

Very Nice!

If you dont wont that/ need to make room I have a Hull that boiler and steam motor would look great in

Well done Pauly. The Arrow is nice, but Spring Queen was a bargain! I think SQ is the one I prefer, and not just because of the price!

Hi Paul,

You'll have to let me know how you get on with the RC in the Arrow.  I'm not at that stage yet ... but if you have any hints and tips I'm all ears.

Cheers

Yep it is one of Chris'. I bought a couple quite a few months back and kept one back for the Arrow.

Look forward to the Spring Queen refurbishment
