    😊 I like the model and the motor. Fondly remember Taycol motors in the 1960s. I had an Asteroid in a Veron Viceroy and cost a fortune in dry batteries though it was very enjoyable,

    I remember the Basset Lowke ready to sail boats which I later found that the same models had been produced in the 1930s. Both models were 39 inches long and one of them ,Streamlinia was steam powered launch with a funnel to the aft of the main cabin and the other was a similar sized launch with a different superstructure and electric power.

    I must say that Margaret is a masterpiece with traditional quality and detail and a power unit to match.

    Does anyone know if Basset Lowke are still in business?

    The last time I saw their name advertised was over 10 years ago when I saw a couple of new O gauge steam locomotives in a model shop
