That's a lovely model Mark. Is it yours?

Is the engine a twin or a compound? I like the geared feed pump. Of course it makes sense to gear it down due to the speed the engine runs at. I've been looking at full size launch engines and haven't come across this before.

(I nearly bought a full size steam launch a few months back and still intend to own one in the future).

Mark.
That's a nice launch. You might like to see this thread I posted some years ago: steam launches don't appear here very often as as a relative newcomer you might have missed it! Other new members might enjoy it too!
