Looks like it really means business logoman went for £859.22. bargain. duncandumpertruck That really was a great price. Shame it was so far away for collection only!!! Stitch Awesome!

Yes, it's the kind of size that Richard goes for! Must confess I was tempted. The seller was prepared to arrange Packing and Shipping at additional cost.  Never did determine the state of the RC.  He stated there was no radio, but were the servos and receiver in place? Main Launch - Forward/Reverse, Throttle, Rudder, Anchor winch, Cabin Cruiser Winch. Cabin Cruiser - Forward/Reverse, Throttle. Sounds like some fairly sophisticated electronics. rangerssteamtoys In the picture of the boiler, it looks like a hand pump has been rigged up to act as a engine driven pump. I'm not sure if thats a hand pump though? logoman Re: steam yacht kusuchi wrote: Steve_S wrote: logoman wrote: This is a really nice yacht, I'd be interested myself but at 72" it's too large for my collection.
