Hi cash,
I think she is coming along nicely. If you are going to plank the deck you could cut an opening around the servo/rudder area and hide it with the deck planking held down with some small magnets. Martin555. ▲

She does Nerys, she truly does. But, when things donβt go well, Iβve learned to put things aside for later instead of giving up entirely. Thatβs what I did with the Taucher, and although sheβs not my favorite, she turned out somewhere between okay and pretty good, and I can live with that.
I like the little Anna, I think she would be...a less frustrating build and a good entry into steam. Iβm thinking after I take that leap Iβll get back to the Elliot. I have too many projects I want to build and way too little time..π ▲

Whether you've given up on this boat for time being or not Cash, I think she has lovely lines. Hope you do finish her sometime.
Cheers, Nerys ▲

Hi Red, sorry for the late reply. She burns 2 tablespoons of Sterno, which is a camp fuel. I think itβs gelled alcohol.

Hi Cash , find that strange - first bought a Fantail Launch Kit and the Midwest Steam Engine to suit - that boiler needed to be soldered - perhaps it was an early model - sold the unbuilt set with the kit a bit later after purchasing the second engine - was going to run it in the the Harbour Tour Master but little wary of an enclosed engine & boiler - much prefer an open boat.
At least can now run the engine set feeling a bit more assured as yours is clearly going well. You did not let us know what fuel you run it on though and how much of it...... ▲

Hi Red. The engine and boiler were factory assembled, I didn't have to build a thing.

Hi Cash - that's a very nicely running little engine. Noticed a package of
Stay Brite solder in the background . Was the boiler soldered with that?. Have the other version from Midwest - all gunmetal (Bronze) which came with a ready soldered boiler. Bit wary as it looks like it might well be soft soldered. What fuel were you using and how much ? - we can only get solid tablets or a Chinese gel fuel meant for stoves. Looking forward to seeing the Launch on the water. Good start. ▲
