|  Sea Trials
I have never been a member of a forum before so I thought I would kick off with a photo of the sea trials of my Steam Coaster.
I feel a bit self concious posting photo's of my own boat so if any one wants to see any more please let me know.
The model is a Mountfleet Ben Ain kit which I thought cried out for a steam plant rather than an electric motor. If anyone is interested in the plant I will follow up with a description.
The boat has so far taken about a year and a half and I haven't even got the quarter deck on yet. Most of this time has been spent on the steam plant and getting it reliable and useable without the luxury of having the plant open to see. Quite a challenge but very satisfying.
By the way if the picture does not appear I will try again. I am not over confident of this at the moment. |
