Cheddar models prototype unit
This unit was being developed as a complete unit to drop in to a range of twin screwed steam powered models in our range such as the Elbe "Ditmar Koel" pilot boat, this was just before Cheddar models ceased trading.
The unit is based on a CMB boiler fitted gas burner with a ceramic element and fitted with a gas attenuator valve, The engine are 2 Puffin units and boiler mounted on a separate base plates to enable various space between the centres to be easily fitted in to different models.
The unit has been tested and run for approx 6 hours in total and then shelved as it would not be put in to production at that time, so is now surplus to requirements.
This is a smooth and powerful unit and is a successful design..
As the unit has been stored for a number of years, and a good service and replacement of all O rings would be recommended, This unit has a boiler certificate showing that it was tested and fitted to this model.
Suggested updates were to add a steam valve between the boiler and engines to speed up firing.
Price £1200.00 o.n.o
Ditmar Koel model
This kit we used to trial run the above engine, and altered to make it best suitable for a twin steam plant as a power unit. the plant from the boat can easily be fitted in back in place, the model is not complete with all its fittings as befits a trails vessel but the rest of the fittings, plans etc to complete are included.
This model shows wear and tear as it was a trials vessel and some tidying and fettling is required but is basically a very sound model fitted with 55mm brass propellers, slimline shafts with oiler tubes and heavy duty steam proof couplings.
The model ( not this one) can be seen sailing on You tube here
