As Shelton asked, first I have to introduce myself. My name is Matti, I am 76 years old, live in Lahti, Finland and I am a retired process automation engineer. My hobby has already for decades been model building. I have built models of cars, tanks, ships, etc. and also a few steam engines.
My latest engine was a Marcher, for which I bought plans and castings from Reeves. And the engine, when ready was installed into a ship model called Lempi, together with boiler, gas tank and burner.
Attached please find a few pictures of the engine itself and it's installation into model.

Hello Matti. Welcome to the group here. You have shared some beautiful projects already!
It will be fun to tell my wife what I heard from Finland today (she was born in Mikkeli).

Thank you Charlie! Say hello to your wife. It's a small world, we Finns can be found everywhere. I live in the city of Lahti, about 125 kilometres south of Mikkeli.
