Well done Johan

A nice seasonal picture for the holidays.

Have you somehow managed to drive your boats up onto the lawn or is there a sort of inlet in which they are moored?

Hi Folks and especially friends in the US Can I slip in a relevant addenedum to this thread? Here in the UK if one is to steam on our canals and some of our rivers with the intention of pumping water from those bodies, some form of filtration might be advisable. I am currently looking into the idea ...

Sounds wonderful Fred! Here in Little England, it is 8.5C outside and the rain has just stopped, while the garage is a reasonable 10C, but as lead chef, my role is wholly domestic today. We have 19C indoors, the log stove is doing nicely and a rosy glow has descended upon the family, while the turke...

Welcome Jakub!

Not sure how many of us trawl through the Welcome section, but you may rest assured that any question you post in the other areas will get many answers.

Hi and a belated welcome to the Forum Just found and read through the posts. A couple of thoughts have leapt out and here they are: 1. A 5 litre can of boat building standard resin will set you back nearly £100. If you think of the amount you need for a couple of coats on low quality ply, it might m...

Hi Andrew A belated welcome from the lost land off the coast of European Civilisation. I have read your post on the pellet firing process with interest (and got the posted links to work!). Have you thought of writing an article about your research for either Steamboating Magazine or SBA's Funnel mag...

So what do sub-urban steamboaters do when the pressure of Christmas preparation gets too much? How about a bit of boat manouvering on sloping drives in the rain... First one needs something on which to 'park' said boat: http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af181/PeteThePen1/Frances%20Anne/IMG_2015121...

Hi Fred Since nobody seems to have jumped in to answer your question, I will do my best. However, I'm no expert so there may be somebody who can come and correct my mistakes. As I understand it, the EU pressure vessels directive, as turned into UK legislation by the Whitehall Mandarins, exempts hobb...

Hi If you want to build one rather than buy, another source of inspiration is Beckmann Boatshop. Mr B sells and nice big hand pump and, in a moment when greed overcame common sense, I bought one. It really looks the part and yet is very simple as the valves are simply plumbing clack valves. The pric...

Hi Frank Could I be so cheeky as to ask why you are seeking interior photos? For some thoughts on interiors you could try the book 'The Steam Launch' by Richard Mitchell, though there is a predominance of US boats. Another good source, but much more difficult to investigate is 'Steam Boat and Modern...
