I built one of her prototype pre kit manufacture (along with Ray Kipling ......I think, who built the other) to make sure all the parts fitted correctly) For John Wright when he first took over Caldercraft, and wrote a review about her.
I built her exactly as per Caldercaraft instructions..............and then she spent 6 months with Marten Howes and Bayliss as a test bed for their new prototype (short run) 3 cylinder steam engine and boiler.
After that I wrote a review for Marine modelling titled "An idiots view to steaming up"..........I being the idiot.
Never got used to getting the engine steaming properly and after going fully clothed into Fleetwood lake one morning TWICE within an hour, I gave up and sold it to a chap Called Mike Ward who owned a museum for model boats and planes at Papplewick, Nottingham.
I enjoyed the build, and it was (IMHO) an easier build than the Imara from the same stable, but not as pretty, again imho.
