Beautiful model, I particularly like the steam set up and the workaround for the prop shaft.

I like working with metal as well as wood, so I made the rear H-bitt on the tug Long Island out of brass. It is through bolted with a backing plate under the deck. Other metal and wood project was a 1" to 1' model of a 24 pounder muzzle loaded gun. Not a boat, but..

Looks great. Would like to make one with a live steam engine.

Static model from a Bluejacket kit. Solid wood hull, lots of detail, meager instructions.

This kind of oilier is usually referred to as a "displacement" oilier. As the steam passes through the oilier, a bit of it will condense back to water and sink to the bottom of the oilier. The oil being lighter than water gets pushed up and floes to the engine. Thus the oil is displaced. At the end of the run you drain the water out the bottom and refill the oil at the top.

Looks like a lot of natural light.

The gearing is 3:1 but with a 12v motor salvaged from a small appliance. (I save everything.) The motor mount, fan, gearing setup, I made from a piece of square aluminum tube of unknown origin. This way the motor did not have to be offset to accommodate the gearing. Working with the two piece ABS hull and other plastic parts was difficult unless you are familiar with this material.

Started with a Dumas kit of the tug "Brooklyn". I did not like that the kit was mostly plastic and not suitable for steam power. So, based on the photo I turned it to the "Long Island".
