    I'm really looking forward to seeing this series, a model steam boat called Edith was the first of his videos I ever watched

    I saw this video and went 'Oh no, what's he bought now.' Turns out you've had it for some time. Beautiful little thing, it'll be nice to see afloat, if, of course you plan to sail it.

      It's not mine, it belongs to one of my Customers . . .

    Easy to alter the engine angle by altering its' attachment to baseplate .

    So you put the boat and engine away for a few years to 'age' it like a fine wine? 😀

    That is a lovely little boat, will the boiler need to be hydrostatic tested ?

    • @keithappleton
      @keithappleton  3 роки тому

      It is a brand new boiler when I built it into the steam plant and it came with a Manufacturer's certificate.

    Hi Keith, wouldn't using a commercial U-joint with grub screws between engine and shaft be sufficient to deal with the steep angle? I think they can manage 45 degrees without trouble?
    Just a thought... :)

    Could the oil separator and the fuel tank be stacked? That might gain a few inches.

      It's fine as it is. I generally work things out before I start ......

      It needs more painting and it is too cold for that in my Workshop . . . .

    Are you going to use teak on the new wooden parts?

      UA-cam sometimes randomly sets it to Ditch - I do not know why ????
