Hello !
First of all , I wish you all an Happy good year and a fantastic one in building , boiling , steaming and smoking !
The last night of 2024 being away , the road is safer ! I don't know on your side , but here , driving is very dangerous as when the new year's eve is over , there  is drunken men leaving their wife driving !  O0 %%

This launch is wonderull and aprt from the one in Windermere Museum , mine , and the one of our friend BernhardB , I do not know any.

I know that there is some more , but not too many. That is why it would interesting to know how many lucky owner of one of the beautifulest (in my opinion) steam launch.
Cheers !

Love the planking and details, that is a stunning boat, thank you for sharing. I am aware of a pair of BATs that were built, maybe someone on the forum can shed light on them

Going back to the early 90's, a beautiful example was built by a Mr Brown from Essex. This was featured in the Model Boats magazine. I have no idea who owns it now.

Hi ,I have just finished my model of the Windermere steam launch BAT its taken 12 months to complete ,I obtained the original drawings  from John r Haynes many years ago  and had them enlarged , A copy i forwarded to Bernard and KB10 after a request on mayhem no doubt there models came from those plans , I find being 80years old difficulty uploading photos on mayhem but Martin has kindly Offord to do that for me i have 3 videos of the model that i will send him and hopefully he can upload them if not possible i will take some photos and hopefully he can upload them ,Kind regards Allan .
