Hi Nick, Its one of its brothers
Had to make a new boiler for my original Peter Pan so knocked a few spares up at the same time .At least the plants are done ready for the hulls one day
Just not sure about the type of hull to make probably the 1924 one for two plants and the 1922/3 built up hull for the last plant
I prefer these earlier boats to the more common Snipe etc

Nice Wormar/Bowman inspired engine Frazer, is that it's twin brother lurking in the background of one of your photos? :)

Thanks Doug, the old Bowmans had heavy flywheels although they didnt make that style of engine for very long 1923 to 1924 from memory. It is a pig to copy compared to the post engines and the originals suffer from cracking on the main frame probably due to the lack of annealing and young fingers bending them about
Mr Arrow , the original hulls varied Peter Pan around 18 to 23 inches Miss America from 23 up to 30 inches from memory would need to dig out the drawings .Both hulls are very narrow
cheers

I like that massive flywheel in that tiny engine. I bet it runs smoothly at high speeds.

How large a hull will that plant go in?

Just fancied letting of a bit of steam for a change. Just need to get it into a hull
Always like the simplicity of this sort of plant just good fun
cheers
