Ben My Chree Isle Of Man Steam Packet Co. Live steam model boat

[hobbysteamjoe]

I watched your videos again today. Really impressive. I read somewhere that taking steam for the donkey pump from a supply at normal boiler water level would maintain level automatically. Have you experimented? My newest boiler contains such a small volume of water I'll need some help maintaining level! I would love to know specifics about the prop used for Ben My Chree.

Really nice steam plant. Neat pump for lubrication. I need a system to lube my rod big end.  Would like to hear more about how you get oil to big end.

Had it running in the garden pond recently, hopefully have the donkey pump and bypass set correctly!! Hopefully will have this running on the lake (Foxhills Pond, New Forest) in the next week or 2
