Hi all,
 
 Not so new to modelling, however, brand new to Marine Steam, so I hope somebody may be able to help me out here.
 
I have on the way (via a friend of a friend) a rather run down model, which is the Tyne tug Joffre. Now, I'm contemplating making the model into a steam powered model ... this is where "you" come in.
 
Where, what, how, why and  How much!   ...
 
 So, if you folks could possibly offer me some advice, I would be most greatful to you.
 
Where steam is concerned, I have steam knowledge/experience (on a much much larger scale), just not in model boating, so I'm more than prepared to do a Resto. job on something if that be the case.
 
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help/offer advice.

Hope this answers a few questions.

Now that is a great example of modelling skills and attention to detail! Thank you for that

 Miniature Steam in Australia have  an engine which suits the Calder Craft Joffre.
The prices are in Aussie dollars. I believe they have an agent in the UK.http://www.miniaturesteammodels.com/category146_1.htm
