That whistle looks very poorly made

Shame really as the engine looks nice

You have made a wonderful job of the boat SJN! Very nice indeed!

I like your makeshift pond.

AFter the initial burst of speed it seemed to settle in at a good pace.
It will probably take a few runs before it reaches its peak as everything beds in.

That whistle does look poorly made. The whistles are of limited value anyway I really only use it to release the last of the pressure after a run before opening it up to drain the water.
Though is you connect a servo to the whistle that could be fun.

A nice example of an Australian made Scorpion Donkey Engine

That boat gets better everytime I see it.

Look forward to the finished results.

That is just an absolutely amazing job mate.

Well done.

As tmuir said, I love the makeshift pond

In OZ you'd be known as a "bush mechanic"

Remember, if it's been made, it can be fixed

Creative, inventive, anything to get around a problem. I was wondering why the car batteries, then I can see it's to hold the sides.

Well done mate, you should be really proud of that.

That is truly the best steam boat I have ever seen made.

Have you got a closeup pic of the servo to rudder connection?

Cheers, and again, well done
