Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Hi Raphael,

Now that is a proper model paddle steamer!  Tanwen was built to test some model steam engines I was working on,  they were to be compact to be used in a small class of boat Mini something?  Any way less than 500 mm which Tanwen is, just! It is based on a type of Australian boat.  It is fitted with a single cylinder engine.  I did design and make a twin but never got around to fitting it.  Attached a couple of photographs you might find interesting.

Maybe if we get to Paris again I will fit it in place of the single cylinder engine in Tanwen.

Take care stay safe.

Tony.
