Hi - I am new to paddleducks although not new to rc boats having previously made a Thames Barge. I joined paddleducks because I want to make a Waverley and was therefore delighted to find some articles from model boats in the download section which seem very relevant.

However I am dissapointed that I am not allowed to download anything from the downloads section.

Failed at the first hurdle!!!

Any ideas?

John

All sorted now. Thank You.

Hello, I am a bronze member and i am not able to download anything.

In August I got an old big steamengine model in parts. Bore and stroke are 45 x 75 mm, weight of the parts was almost 29 kg. All parts were cleaned, worked up and assembled. Fortunately no parts were missed, all seems complete. Probably the engine was made in 1907 by a person named "W. EGGERS" - this was engraved at the slide box. It was interesting and joyful to complete this engine in several weeks. The old wooden foundation of the engine completely was destroyed by wood-worms - I made a new foundation of beechwood.
Last week I made several testruns of the finished engine - after minor improvements she was running well. My boiler isn`t strong enough to produce steam for longer runs than 10 minutes, but this is sufficient to watch the nearly noiseless movement without any leaking of steam and water. May the pictures speak for herself!

That last model is very pretty.
Thanks for the photos
