This model I build in 2004. The resin hull was made by Marten & Hoves and Baylis for the Escher-Wyss steamlaunch "SEEKADETT" - a very expensive kit. At a steam event in Sinsheim only the hull was offered at for a rather low price. My model even was orientated at the M&H model, but with some alterings. So the rear saloon`s breadth is like the breadth of the hull. I made the superstructure without any plan only with sketches. Engine is the famous Graham TVRIA, boiler is a home made flametube type of 200 mm lenght with diameter of 100 mm.
Very nice and warm summerday today. All was functioning well, so the trip was pure joy!
