Title: Introduction.
Post by: Blac73 on January 14, 2010, 09:18:24 PM

Hi all! Let me introduce myself.

 I'm Laszlo Borgula (36) from Hungary. I'm living in a small town Cegled, it is 70 km from Budapest to southeast. Last year I start to fly with a Multiplex Easy Glider Elektro Pro 2008. In the middle of last November I decied to build a paddleweelers named Western River. I have some basic knowledge about metal-, wood works, painting but noting about steam engines, in this case I had some hard moment :)

I'm a military officer and I'm working for The Hungarian Ministry of Defence in Budapest. I'm an engineer, but I have no workshop, only some basic tools, machines.

Thanks guy. In later report I will send some pics, about my ship and myself.

See you later. Laszlo.

Thanks Derek, your site and the members look so professional and I'm sure I will come here to ask if I'm stopped by some technical problems.

See you.  Laszlo.

Is the photo in your first posting of an engine you built Laszlo? If so you have already done much better than many of us. Dont forget to keep a photographic record of building the boat so we can all be inspired and share what we know. Regards, Ian (in New Zealand).

Wish I could say Ian, this is a self-build engine, but it's not.
It produced in a small factory close my place.
This is the web page of the LTD: www.pinterpcnc.hu (http://www.pinterpcnc.hu)
You can find some other beauties on this page.

This is my dream, which comes true soon...the Western River.

The main hull is 80% ready the upper levels not, and I'm hard at work boiler, burner and the transmission and the other small, but important things. (Rudder, electronic wires etc.)


See you, bye Laszlo.

Wel I am sure you will get any advice you need of the very helpful people on this forum. As I said, do not forget to take pictures of your build. All the best with it, Ian.
