Tramper steamer, 3.4.2017.


Whist I was at the Ellesmere Model Boat Show this year with "Bob the Abell" we met David Lee who had just bought a steam engine!.
He said I've just got to make a boiler and all the other bits now!.
He was at the lake the other day and was giving his Tramp steamer it's maiden voyage and making sure everything was in working order before making and installing the deck and superstructure. 

New steam engine, with home made condenser.



And here it is on the water.

Tramp steam under steam. 
Thanks for the report Dave, nice to have someone's new build to post!
Does it have one of those steam whistles you can hear all round the park that everyone wonders where its coming from!.

A man goes into a DIY shop and asks for some bolts."How long do you want them?" asks the assistant.
"To tell you the truth" says the man, "I was rather hoping to keep them!"

How do you identify the people who can't count to ten?, simple!.
They're the ones in front of you in the supermarket express lane!!.
