I asked the guy, who posted the video, where he got the bolier plans from as the engne looks like the one I'm doing. Its a Regner off the shelf item "Midi" http://www.traindept.com/bengmidi.html they originate from Germany.
If you look up Regner Midi there are a mumber of land based vehicles using this plant. One based on a Tamiya tank kit.

That is a beautiful engine you have made and is crying out to go into an open launch as you can tell I am a fan of these boats :big:.
regards and best wishes
