Great looking model, thanks for the link Bernard.  Lovely spot to sail it on as well, although I'm not sure about wading in!!

I do like the traditional plant and the coal fired boiler though, great atmosphere.

Great video link, thanks.

It is nice to see the working of the boat in action, in some detail. Most videos just show the boat going round and rond on the water, which gets a bit tedios, IMHO.

That was interesting. Brought back memories of looking at steam trains as a child.

A great piece of engineering to fascinate and admire.
