Richard, a talented steam modeler
« on: June 06, 2025, 12:57:08 pm »
Bonjour,
I can't remember if I already had the opportunity to share with you several amazing steam machines among all made by my friend Richard who also saved several of my damaged steam ones.

Bonjour Calin,

No idea yet, it is large and awfully heavy and will need a large boiler, this means a more than 20 kilos boat because of the size of the future steam plant.

I admit I don't know what to do with my JRS10, my BR2032 or my Stuart SUN either, they are too big machines  :((

Yes, it gets difficult if boats get too heavy. Perhaps you can find a boiler for it and run it on steam just for fun.

Bonjour Calin,

You are right, I have several large 120mm boilers like these examples : https://youtu.be/g1_847I7kvQ  or https://youtube.com/shorts/a0YWnDKMetc

I have in mind to keep the horizontal one for one of my D10 to be installed in a large Clyde puffer hull, so the vertical one is an option to be considered  :-))
