This is a link listed in my local model boat club that I am about to go visit with my Snipe...

I am only the 3 person in the club with live steam.. luckily I think this person lives elsewhere or I hope he is ready answer some very comparatively amateurish questions

Enjoy his lengthy tour -- in case you miss it- the only things he did not hand-make are the grease fitting on the prop shaft and the pressure gauge


Ok rest up fro this- and he wants to replace the boiler and stack...

GULP.......

I love the way he talks about telemetry to get the operational paremeters shoreside.....I'm still struggling/maqrvelling at radio control.

A somewhat different league methinks.......mouthwateringly good!
