Nice and old then, I would attempt to steam her but only in the test tank (Bath).

Have you thought of restoring her to her former beauty??

I would really love to Les,

It will be hard though, and i seem to have so much stuff on

I have just had a look at the one one the other site and I would say even though it the same boat it is a different version to what you have.

I hope you do not mind but I have added a link, I can remove it if you want me to.

that's big

Heres the boat its to go into-
its based on a Bassett-Lowke set of drawings.

My brother made it from the drawings

Its a really good job

Note the SEL Standard box and pop pop boat for comparison

Next to an electric HMS Vanguard

And a few other boats- non steam (at present

)

This was given to me as a 10 year old
Nice man on the canal side

Vanguards twin props

And the river launch funnel- again home made by my brother

That is an interesting looking Landing Craft tucked away, is it from a kit or a plan??
