Bernhard, I do not think the Diana hull could have gone to a better home. You build incredible steam boat models! The Lady Jane is stunning! The African Queen looks gritty and authentic. Just awesome!

Bernhard, Fantastic I could almost smell the steam oil.

Gerald

Steve, I too, am most grateful for your help. Specifically, a few months ago, thank you for recommending Model Marine Steam, and most recently, directing me to the retailer of the Diana hull, which I ordered this week.


Bernhard, Your work was the inspiration that led me to pursue the Diana hull. Thank you, Sir.

Respectfully,

Ooby

ooby,
Your welcome and please post your work as you make progress.

Steve

The look of a finely crafted steam engine and boiler with all the tubing, valves, guages and the sights, sounds and smells of the engine steaming up and running will always be a "show stopper". They remind me of time machines.

Thanks......last work don on it ,,4 servo is in,,,i still neat a el water pump...........
