Michael's Table
« on: February 26, 2021, 02:13:42 pm »
I built this steam plant for a model tug boat that I intended to build, but got side tracked with a traction engine build.

A very nicely built launch plant Michael.

Keeping my fingers crossed, that you brought a peek at the TE build to your table, must be something to sidetrack you from this beauty  :)

You need a BIG hull for that beast.

A wonderful build.

You teased us with your reference to a traction engine project.

Do tell more......

That steam plant is positively SUPERB, and my thinking is that perhaps it is time for you to consider getting back to the Tug Boat Build!

Very impressive Michael, you can see easily that you must have put a LOT of hours into this beauty.

The traction engine is a 3" scale Marshall, the engine took me 8 years to complete.

That Marshall is downright amazing !!!

I can see how such a project could derail almost any previous plans.
Exceedingly well done Michael, and thanks for sharing.

Hi Nick,

Yes the first firing was a bit nerve racking but all went well, I only had to alter the size of the blast nozzle to increase the the draught on the fire.
