A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Looks like you are well on the way to another beautifully built engine. How well do the EB triples perform ? Looks like they should do well when built properly. Keep up the good work, love the vids.

The first engine has not yet been fitted in the boat, I wish it had so I can get some feed back.

Jack,

If you don't mind, what are the overall dimensions of this engine L X W X H??

Mounting dimensions?

I looked on Elliot Bay's site and I did not see it.

Thanks, Ron
