Oh, by the way, the links are to be found all the way at the bottom of the page, showing each phase of the model making process. The guy's good. Talk about a master class.

"And did you see the Tug" Yep ... and the boiler and engine for it. The guy has a prodigious output. Stunning work. Now that's what you call ... "A labour of love"

There is enough material posted on that website to keep one occupied for hours in amazment.

One of my favourite model steamboats!

Check this guys build out so far- not quite on the same scale but will be impressive when he gets it finished;

Ah ha Greg ... I see by reading through the thread which you posted, that you have come across Mr. Bentley's work before, though not necessarily the engine I was linking to.

Your right, sorry- I should have checked your link first- I think there are a couple of Naptha launches still over your side of the pond.
