Maltelec, send him warm greetings from maggy and roger egli, he build the engine for cherry, my father's boat... is shamrock up and running again? Thanks, Roger

[maltelec]

@MrZhefish Shamrock is most certainly running again. I didn't go on it this week but I have plenty of pictures of it on thesteamboatingforum (dot) net under the Rally Reports section of the forum.

at the end of the clip, you see a 1A engineer, a roger mallison, he's engines are just ART... well wehn i think about it, it could also be his brother :) they are lookalikes! :) Greetings from Switzerland

@MrZhefish That is Roger. I was chatting to him yesterday.

thats a big ass triple or quad! nice1

[maltelec]

@porpoisefathom I think you'll find it a compound.

@theshipman you can run her in the ocean and brackish water if you have a water purification system attached to it. thats what i'd do.

@Fireheart528 The coal we were burning that day is very close to anthracite but not quite there. Fortunately the firebox is massive, so we can burn poorer coal while still getting the power required.

[Fireheart528]

this one at full speed is just amazing. you're using anthracite coal, right? i might just build one of those myself.
