Take a Ride on Steamboat Willie
This is my first Video down load so be patient.
Length 36" beam 12" Boat is scratch built and the boiler is scratch built 9 fire tube. Burner is a modified Optimus back pack stove and uses Coleman lantern fuel (white gas). Boat has a kitchen rudder but this video really does not show it. Engine was made by Anthony Bahaboy (Late 40's) out of Rahway NJ USA. It has a 5/8 bore and a 5/8 stroke with a packing as piston rings. I get a little more than a 30 minute run.
More to come
