Thanks for sharing, Colin.
I like the twin Steam Engine. Do you think it might be possible to install it in a ship like the Hudson Firth? Or will the superstructure melt if made out of styrene?
What about the ship on the last pic - is it a new kit of a merchant ship?
I hope to participate at the open days in the future.
Kind regards -Arno

Excellent Colin.  I will get there one day but coincidentally like Joe was also away for the weekend in sunny (well a bit drizzly) Devon.

your welcome chaps....  8)

@ Arno, i did not see the steam plants working, so i am not to sure what heat the boiler gives off, but i guess if some sort of heat shield was used then you could probably install one of these units into any model of reasonable size.

the ship in the last photo is a miniature version of the  Rix Harrier this miniature model is not available as a kit, but its bigger version is if you click on the link.

@Colin: thank you very much. The Hudson Firth with steam engine sounds like a future project for me ^^^ I shall have a look at the engine next year in Dortmund. I had not noticed the Rix Harrier so long. The Deans range is so big ::DD It is also a nice ship.
Kind regards - Arno

Hi Arno , I built the Graupner paddle tug last year and she can be run on geared electric or a steam plant, though she dose have a wooden deck and superstructure,  she dose have a plastic hull, so I guess it's ok if the model's large enough. Joe.
