Got me beat there Nick .... I only have one of the boxes.

You actually have all four (4) of Steamco's products there, as the Marine engine was listed as STC-02 (and was sold separately [real rare]) while the boat itself qualified as STC-03.

At least that is the information that I have in my files.

Great pictures Nick.

Impressive that you still got this posted while traveling and setting up for the show.

I am enjoying the live stream.  I commented a few times in the live chat.

That's the other one I have. 0-1 and the 0-4. I always wondered why they skipped 1-4.
I never knew they had a marine engine and boat. Oh that boat, gosh Nick I love that
color. It's so beautiful that now I have to go change my shirt, to much drool.

The hammer was a double hammer from Märklin Metallbaukasten book, I added a bunch of extra pieces to fasten it to the engine, but two hammers was too much for the little engine. I built it around Easter time so the egg breaking idea came to me and I slightly modified it a little more :D

The kids thought the eggs were a little crunchy but that’s because they kept hammering till some shell was embedded into the white 😂
