Model Steam Launch - First Voyage (1 of 3)

This is a model steam launch based on the Lady Margaret hull from Kingston Mouldings. It is a 1/8th scale river launch, 45.5" (1155mm) long and 12.5" (315mm) across the beam.
Propulsion is from a Hemmens Wharfedale boiler fired by a propane/butane gas cylinder and a basic twin cylinder oscillator engine from PM Research.
This is a quick look at the boat before its first run on the local lake (see Parts 2 & 3).
