Yes, my thanks too Raphael :-)) ............a beautiful collection of steam vessels .....I think I counted 5 different versions of Saito engines.....  :kiss:


The inverted twin engine on PS Reliant is also rather spectacular

Bonjour,
Derek, you are right and sharp eye, a single friend (crazy Saito collector) has brought a T1DR, a T2DR, a T2DR long, a T3DR and a V4PR :-))

Perhaps you would see more nice boats on this videao of day 2  : https://youtu.be/niCour4LS2M (https://youtu.be/niCour4LS2M)

Are Martenn Howes and Baylis kits, like Opal, Der See Kadett or Topaz known in US and / or other countries ?  https://youtu.be/SeIAOzVC-nU (https://youtu.be/SeIAOzVC-nU)
They are quite rare in France (very expensive).

And I also have added 15 shorts, including the final parade : https://youtu.be/lDb958JWsEY (https://youtu.be/lDb958JWsEY)

In France, a meeting with 30 steam passionates together occurs twice a year only, I would not miss them at any cost !
