Steam generation is by a Maccsteam 3.5 inch vertical boiler, there is a feed pump fitted so she can steam about as long as the gas tank lasts.. Radio is Futaba 6EX 2.4 gig, 3 channels used, steering, regulator and reverser. She also has a removable sound system which plays sound clips from the film. (Motor: TVR 1A BB twin cylinder, double acting slide valve with Hackworth reversing gear.) (ESC: N/A) (10/10)

    I would love to visit but alas I no longer have a passport. Our lake is great, but being on the seafront at New Brighton it can get quite windy as the westerly winds come over the Irish Sea...

    I m over the moon, impressed, breathless. In our club we do have à significant number of steamers and i must admit i m always speachless !
    I must say that thé pond you took the queen out seems to be very Nice almost like ours. If you would visit Antwerp one day don’t Forget to take the queen with you for a lazy afternoon at our pond

    Thanks Herman. I must get her down from the shelf (where she has been gathering dust) and re fit the engine and boiler, I took them out about 5 or 6 years ago for overhaul and never got round to reassembling. I have just bought a new gas tank, smaller than the current one, which is too big and too heavy, I don't need one as big. Here is a video from ages ago...
