"Seekadett" steam launch kit with steam plant

There is further information and photographs of the finished model on the JoTiKa website here, more information about the French built engine, a jewel of a thing, on their website here.

 

Note that due to a hiccup in the studio yesterday (biscuit overdose most likely), the photographer got a bit overexcited and included the steam-raising blower from a nearby traction engine in the first picture. Doesn't go with the launch - not needed for gas firing and it's so big the boat would capsize. So, just to be clear - doesn't include the blower.
