I built this vessel from scratch using a pre made clinker fibreglass hull purchased from Mini Steam Australia. The engine is an oscillating twin cylinder and the boiler is a 3" Centre Flue Gas Fired Vertical Boiler from "Miniature Steam". The gas tank is a 1-1/2" vertical refillable GasTank also from Miniature Steam Pty. Australia. The vessel is radio controlled with the skipper appearing to control the rudder. it has a smoke generator and a rc controlled steam whistle.

Great looking model. We had a member who built a similar model and fitted it out with dolls house fittings.
Have you sailed your model?, if I remember correctly the turning circle was not good.

What is the length of this model? I am still engaged in flying scale WW1 airplanes at 83, but I can see me getting back to my Bristol Pilot Cutter and Clyde Puffer.

Shop bought model given to me by my family Xmas 2012, from Kitshack at first they inadvertently order their internal kit for use with a Fibre glass hull, but kindly sent me complete kit for a small extra charge, and told me to keep the cut down bulkheads and keel etc, so may utilise them in another model.
Pity they seem to have moved on to pasture new these days. This Launches first sail at Ethrow Park, 2013. Still fitting out, at first stable but disappointedly slow on 3 blade prop, powered by a Johnson 600, but after a loan of a 40mm twin bladed nylon Prop, of she went at ssspppeedd, final session is when we re tried her with original tweaked 3 blader, not quite as fast but an Improvement,even better when we changed it for an opposite handed similarly tweaked prop, as we realised ESC was set up to run better that way

Glad you like it, unfortunately, just had a message from Ethrow club, that they are banning fast electrics boats, after a number of complaints from public, about wildlife being harried by someone sailing their speedboat at them. I am not one of them try always to run in empty water, when at all possible. Need to check what they class as fast, or head to local canal and its weeds for my next speed rush.

YET ANOTHER FERRY BOAT.
THE MODEL WAS BUILT BY MYSELF IN 2008 ON A FIBREGLASS HULL FOR WHICH I AM PART OWNER OF THE MOULD. THE REST OF THE MODEL IS BUILT FROM LITEPLY AND PLASTICARD. BEING WIDE BEAM AND SHALLOW DRAUGHT THESE MODELS SAIL WELL AND REQUIRE NO BALLAST APART FROM THE JELLY BATTERY.
IT IS TWIN SCREW AND TWIN RUDDER SO IS VERY MANOUVERABLE.
