Im going to have to make one of these lol. I have my grandads old pond steamer which has a 1930s Bowman 135 boiler.Thats all I know about it really. Well done on the build though mate..
I live down the street from the Queen in Key Largo. I am sad to say her steel hull is corroding away in drydock. Jim Hendricks is the man who had her restored and she has gone downhill since his passing.
I saw the Billing Boats African Queen in the hobby store the other day. I wasn't impressed by the boat on the cover of the box. This is so much more amazing.
There's a short video of the "Modern Africa Queen" :-) on my video-site on youtube, under Speak Swahili, Dammit! This old boat has seats salvaged from a Boeing 707 which crashed into Lake Victoria. It's a venerable vessel, moored at Wag Hill near Mwaza. It reminds me so much of the old Queen!
Where did you get this boiler? Do you know they name of the real boiler it is modeled after? Great job.
