These are pictures of the steam plant and launch as I first built her.It was a freelance attempt at a launch for the steam plant. After building the Miranda and Borkum look a like with installed steam plant. Decided to find a plan to put this plant into.
The blog and posts below show the progress to date.
Hope this helps a little GLC.

Yes, It does help a little and I recognize the boiler and condenser, and it looks like there is a cover over the engine, I would be very interested to see a little more internal detail as one can't get too much of a good thing. Please switch some lights on first and it's looking like a flash-gun for Xmas. Regards. 👍
Hi GLC The boat you see in the picture is now just a hull. The photo was taken on my old camera a number of years ago. Pictures in this blog are now taken with my new camera. Somewhat better quality.

This week the sun came out the wind down I was able to prime the boat and get it ready for final paint. Not sure if it shows well the boat is dark blue. This build is nearly done need to think of a name. Trial water tests to come .
