Does anybody have experience of making water tanks any advice would be welcome?

Nice boat Mark.  :thumbup:

Water tanks to go inside the boat or a tank big enough to run the boat in?

If you mean one to carry water in for the steam engine then I would use a fuel tank from the model airplane hobby.

You could also make one out of a piece of brass tubing or copper tubing.

mcr:
Placed the plant in the launch and tried it out pleased with the result so far.
Issues to be resolved include:
cooling of Gas tank
location of water tank
Using condensate to warm gas perhaps
make a some more fixtures and fittings

Bernd:
Very nice mcr. Can't wait to see it in the water under it's own power.

I'm working one getting one fired up that my dad built. I'll have to take some vids when I get her running.

mcr:
I have now connected the engine to the prop shaft will try it in the pond tomorrow weather dependent.
I have had to remove the water feed pump as it was geared down too much so was not filling the boiler quickly enough.
Something to do as the weather cuts in.
