A little bit of background: I am a member of Saltwell park model boat club Gateshead UK The model started life as a Wide a Wake but changed along the way,it is a lapstake hull so called in the USA clinker in the UK. With an overall length of 52" and a beam of 16" its a bit of a lump not sure about the weight but it hurts. I have used a range of timber including: cherry ,pear, walnut and mahogony. The boiler and pump followed the building of the engine, at the moment a modified camping stove provides the heat. I have started to look at the gas supply side of the project including making an Attenuator based on a design by Malcolm from the Paddle ducks forum. |

nice to see you on hear, the boat looks great, must start the attenuator soon. Peter |

I have been been working this for a friend. First test run I have noticed that the flame goes out when I open up the steam valve . I think this is due to the steam outlet which exits at the base of the funnel any advice would be welcome. Mark |
