Thanks Mike.  You said yours was to be a larger scale for a steam engine.  I have seen a steam powered early TBD on Mayhem so know it can be done.

My 1/96 is powered by two tiny Raboesch motors of slot car type. An action P94 twin ESC with mixer, and a 3700 mAh NiMh is also the ballast under the second funnel.  Always fit ballast as low as possible.  These ships were fitted with bilge keels, which helps the models stability.

I found the Mayhem thread on HMS Velox of 1904.  1/64 scale with Puffin steam engine.  This should give you loads of tips.

Thanks a lot for that link Bob and for the replies to my questions. Following your previous post I was going to look for the thread on the steam TBD, but now you've saved me the bother.  Another very nice model early destroyer.
