    @ColRay Hi ColRay,

    No the engine is completely home made as is the rest of the model except for the prop and servos etc.
    There are more up to date photos in the blog, the deck and a few other items are done along with a mono tube/steam generator setup to power the engine.

    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    Thanks Martin,
    I don't consider my skills to be remarkable, it is at times quite surprising what you can build when you try.
    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    Hi Steve,
    I have just been looking at your post on Formidable.
    And I really like the row boat, your skills with wood is remarkable I can only imagine what Formidable would look like when completed.
