Chris - Well inspired, what a great model thank for pictures.
Is this a 'Caldercaft' kit?
Will have some pictures to post shortly on progress. |

No, as I stated in an earlier posting, this model boat is a Mountfleet Highlander, see here - http://www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/highlander.htm
And taken from the PS Waverley on 02/05/08, en-route from Glasgow to Oban, here is VIC 32 rounding the south of Bute -

So what kind of fuel does a real "Puffer" use..? Oil, coal?

VIC 32 is quite obviously coal fired, and indeed is the last surviving coal fired steam powered puffer.
Others can be oil fired, or replaced with diesel engines. |

I had to go back to the beginning to remind myself what this originally looked like.
That has come up really well and is now looking like a Puffer again. Well Done.
Any luck getting the missing parts from Caldercraft? |

Great work, and a real reminder of a bygone age.
What a difference you've made to it.
Keep up the good work.
