Baldrick:



Myford lathes have come into the possession of a couple of steam launches (for sale)   one is a paddler , one stern screw. they both seem to be very well engineered . In one their is a nameplate Ivor Birtles(?) March 2003 . Does anyone have any knowledge of the builder ?

KNO3:
Hello, could it be Ivor Bittle? He has this website:

Hi Callin,
Well spotted, if you go to the site and click on the download in making figures, there is a pic of the steam plant as shown on Baldrics original post post.

very interested to see he has twin electrically heated gas tanks

KNO3:
There's a video of the steam boat here:

Baldrick, do you have more pictures of the steam boats?


If they are for sale now, one can wonder what happened to the builder?
