Hans Asplunds Alexander von Humboldt

Film shows Hans Asplunds lovely steam model of the "Alexander von Humboldt". Model was rebuilt in 2009 by Pelle Östergren and Tomas Leijon. The model and engine was originaly built by master builder Per Widing of Stockholm, Sweden many years ago. Per is now building full size airplanes! The model runs wonderful and behaves as a heavy old lady should!.. The original 27 MHz radio is now changed to latest 2,4 GHz technology by Tomas Leijon. Film shot at Långbro in the southern part of Stockholm, Sweden in july 2009.

@DocterJones The steam engine really put your boat in another dimension. It is worth the effort and money (or time) to do it. So go ahead! And good luck to you.

Absolutely Amazing! what a fantastic work of art! I love steam engines and plan to eventually build all my scale boats with them.
