Steamer for sale

Is this the most ridiculous steam powered model you've ever seen? It never ceases to amaze me just what junk some people will try to sell on Ebay!

I suppose I shouldn't be so critical, as it was probably someones pride and joy, but I just couldn't help myself with this one!

Don't knock it Eddy. A Mamod engine, boiler, two channel radio, batteries and a hull, plus three litres of meths!

The bits add up - and no reserve!

True, it's not a bad 'bunch of stuff' but if I had it I'd have to convert the cabin cruiser to electric power and use the engine for something more suitable (pity it's a single acting engine though so only runs in one direction...)
