  I believe so, but the boiler ends are steel, so no firing this one…

• Does it say Craftsman on it? Those old ones have a lifetime warranty.

• The Wilesco D5 could be (can be) bought in kit form.  Here's an unassembled D5/CS from 1983

  They would have to send me a Mr. Power steam engine since Craftsman tools are now replaced with Chinese tools

• That's a nice boat Nick. The offset dome might be just for running the steam line to the
  starboard side on the engine. It sure looks seaworthy to me.

• That is a nice boat, and thanks for the pictures of the boiler.  It sure looks like it has Union Toy Mfg DNA.  I can confirm it's an old boat!
